First thing that you will need to establish is whether the HPUX box has either the HP commercial ANSI C compiler or the GCC C non-commercial compiler. If you do not have either, have two possible approaches:
1) If you are allowed to install a C compiler, you can obtain a HP gcc compiler package from the HP Porting Center (there will be some other requisite packages)
2) Install the xymon client without the binaries built from source but rather fill in with a shell/perl based transmission client to replace the HPUX/Xymon transmission binary.
Same approach for the Solaris boxes – you can get a free gcc C compiler from Sunfreeware site (hmm… wonder when/if it has been rebranded to something like Oraclefreeware).
For VMS, I sort of doubt you will be able to do a compilation from the Xymon source. For that, you may need to dig out using google and ~old, old, Big Brother client implementation for VMS. May be able to get a perl transmission client to work – but perl is not necessarily installed on the VMS box.

Thank you Ryan,
The only issue I have is I do not have it on anything but Windows machines, I have no real idea of how to do the install or even where to download the xymon client from for HP-UX.
I have the windows client running on over 800+ machines right now. and none of my vms, linux, HP-UX, ESX or Solaris machines are monitored.

Does anyone have a good client install for monitoring HP-UX or
OpenVMS? The HP-UX is my main concern and also I would have almost
no idea of how to do the install of the client so any major help
would be appreciated.
Thanks as always.
It is the same as configuring for other operating systems. Give it a
shot and let us know what trouble you run into. One caveat is that it
is best (necessary?) to install the GNU complier/linker. Aside from
that, I don't remember it being special in any way.
