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?

Thank You,

Would this do it for you??

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.
