Need client for Mac hosts

So I copied xymonclient-darwin.sh onto a Mac laptop I have and just ran 
it from a terminal to see if it would do anything.? It did display a lot 
of great info in the terminal, but there's nothing in the script that 
dumps the output to a tmp file or points to a Server address.? So I 
pulled a few more files from the Sourceforge /client/ folder in the 
hopes that the script would look for the xymonclient.cfg and send some 
data to the server.? Running the xymonclient.sh script tries to do 
somethings, but it's looking for things in paths that don't exist since 
I'm not actually installing anything, I'm just manually running a 
script.? I'm obviously missing some vital piece of this puzzle.? Does 
anyone have some simple instructions or point me at whatever it is I'm 
missing here?? I find it hard to believe there isn't someone out there 
that's got this figured out already.

Thank You,
Kris Springer

As far as autostart goes, I have a bunch of clients running from 
cron.? Forget runclient.sh, just start the main xymonclient.sh every 
five minutes.? That is, you don't need to fight with systemd or init.d 
to get the client?to report.

    A few years ago I built a client for a Macos server. The target
    server is quite a few versions of macos old so probably not what
    you are looking for. I just built it on my Mac laptop then bundled
    it all up in a tar file and copied it over and did some
    installation. My current laptop is an M2 so I doubt I could do it
    again right now.

    As I recall the xymonclient-darwin script was mostly fine. There
    was a little entertainment with the way Apple manages it's disks
    these days. I've attached what looks like the changes I made as a
    diff.

    I'm not at $work at the moment so I can't check exactly what else
    I did. I must have done something to get it to auto start at boot.
    Probably didn't keep any notes either. I'll try to have a look
    next time I'm there.

    Also quite possible that rclient will work well. There's some
    fixes that I had to do recently to account for some dropped
    commands from rclient when talking to FreeBSD systems so that may
    also be relevant.

    Cheers,

    Brian

    I would guess the script in the repository is the latest
    version.? I'm not a Mac user, so take that as an opinion, not a
    fact.? As part of the main distribution, any changes would have
    been rolled into that file.

        Where would I obtain a semi-current xymonclient-darwin.sh
        script?? I will try to use the one I found in the latest
        branch on Sourceforge that JC has been working on, but it was
        last edited in 2015.
        https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/branches/4.x-master/client/xymonclient-darwin.sh

        Does anyone have anything a little more current that they use?

        Nothing to install on the remote host, other than SSH keys.?
        It fires the appropriate xymonclient-[OS].sh script down the
        SSH connection and collects the results.? I don't know
        anything about Macs, but the xymonclient-darwin.sh script is
        for MacOS X so that might be a good starting point.

            Anyone have a modern xymon-client script or app that
            will run on Mac? I'm aware of the macport method, but
            that's a large footprint and heavy handed solution to
            the simple need of collecting performance data and
            uploading it to the Server.
