Thanks,

Not sure why but after removing the Makefile and re-installing the 
client is now running on the problem servers. I will keep an eye on this 
to see if it happens again.

The client is still supposed to be run by Xymon, just installed by root. The install should have provided a log directory. Might want to give that another shot and see if it creates one. Probably fine to just create one yourself, but I start to wonder when a fresh install is not clean.

Sorry still trying to get my bearings here

i got the client from
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xymon/Xymon/4.3.10/xymon-4.3.10.tar.gz


I did a standard install but was advised to install as root and not
xymon so everything is run under root.

There ought to be one if you do a standard make install. Where did you get the client? You also don't mention anything about your OS, or client version except by accident. The basic information is usually needed.

I am trying to run the client on a few boxes and im getting the
following error.

cannot write to the xymon-4.3.10/client/logs directory

In the clients directory there is no logs directory and im getting this
on a few boxes. Any ideas ?
