There is no documentation regarding starting/configuring the client.
Does the client run continuously (like a daemon) or is it run
on-demand from the server?  How do I start the client as I currently
show no xymon processes in ps after installation?  I tried running
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-linux.sh, but it doesn't do
anything but send a bunch of output to std out.

I notice there are no init.d startup scripts either.

The only info I'm getting from a monitored host is:  conn, info, and
trends,  no cpu or disk, etc.   How do I enable the other services?

The config help page states: "With the Xymon client running and
reporting data into Xymon, you should see the cpu-, disk-, memory- 
and
procs-columns appear" and does not mention what config files need to
be edited to set host thresholds (/etc/localclient.cfg???)
