Try setting it on the line where you run runclient.sh at startup:
/<path>/runclient.sh --hostname="abc.def.com" [restart|start|status|stop]
I usually place the line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Host name must match the bb-hosts entry in Xymon.
Hope it helps!

Subject: [xymon] RHEL5 client
Folks
I installed the Xymon client on a Red Hat 5 server. It is showing up in the Ghost report with the 127.0.0.1 IP address. I don't see where in the configuration files to set the IP address and/or the host name for the client. Can someone point me to the right place?
We run Hobbit on a Red Hat 4 server. If I should be running a different client for the RHEL5 box, I'd appreciate a link to where I can get it.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Cathy
