Please keep the xymon mailing list as a recipient. This is the last reply I
will send you to an off-list question.

Hello Buchan.
Thank you for your response.
I dot not know how to compile xymon for linux. Can you tell me please the
commands that I should use?
As is conventional with most software supplied as source, a README document is
supplied with the source, which documents the basics of how to compile the
software (assuming you have the requirements - a C compiler etc. - installed).
I am only using the application; the guy who implemented this has left the
team last year.
Did he not provide any documentation on how he deployed clients? Maybe he
already had pre-compiled binaries?
I received the application configured with a Hobbit server working with 7
unix clients. One of 7 unix clients was replaced with a linux one.
I only copied the unix client sources to the new linux one, but I did not
change anything, only the address and host of the new linux server in the
bb-hosts on the Hobbit server side.
I do not know even how to install xymon-client packages. I do not know how
to find the distribution I use. I do not know from where to take a proper
distribution for linux.
Personally it sounds like you aren't in a position to support this linux
server. This list is not intended to provide Unix training ...
Can you help me please with the commands, paths and steps:
- to find the distribution I use?
You can try:
cat /etc/*release
- to find a proper distribution for linux?
- to install xymon-client package?
Will depend on the answer to the first question. If Mandriva, 'urpmi xymon-
client && vi /etc/sysconfig/xymon-client && service xymon-client start', on
Debian 'apt-get install xymon-client'.
For CentOS or RHEL, you may want to use my repo:

If that doesn't help you, this page has some hints that may help:
