Hi

I wanted to upgrade the client on a Debian (Squeeze) machine, to get inode
monitoring. I uninstalled the official xymon-client package, and installed
the deb package from sourceforge. It seems like there is some problem with
config files, or the parsing of them. I set the xymon servers setting
during the packages installation, and this was correctly set in
/etc/default/xymon-client, but when I started the client using the
"/debian/xymon-client.init" from the source tarball (shouldn't this init
script be included in the deb?), the client just tries to connect to
itself. After manually setting the XYMSRV variable to 0.0.0.0 and the
XYMSERVRS variable to the correct servers, in /etc/xymon/xymonclient.cfg,
the client is able to report to the servers. Shouldn't it be enough to
just set the servers during install (or in /etc/default/xymon-client), or
am I doing something wrong? Another thing that I was curious about is how
the files in /var/run/xymon are generated, and what their purpose is.

/Johan
This will not respond to you're actual problem, but if you're only interested 
in inode monitoring, you can make an external script. I made a simple client 
bash* script to do it (see attachment).

* column and sed are only used to make the output eye-candy
