We’ve managed to compile and setup the server and clients fine, clients

When trying to auto-update the clients with a new version of the client
it fails. See below:
$ ./clientupdate --update=client_v3

I’m assuming it’s failing because it’s trying to contact 127.0.0.1,
however I can’t see where it’s getting this address from?! When the
client was compiled we gave the IP address of the Xymon server.
"clientupdate" expects to run with the full set of Xymon client
environment variables defined - it will then pickup the XYMONSERVERIP
that you have configured in the xymonclient.cfg file.
Usually, "clientupdate" is run as part of the normal client run-cycle,
so this has already been defined by xymonlaunch.
To test this by hand, try prefixing the command with "xymoncmd". Like:
xymoncmd clientupdate --update=client_v3
That should work.
