Actually, that's not correct. It uses "ssh" (or rsh, or whatever you want
to give it) to run a shell, then pipes the contents of the
xymonclient-freebsd.sh file into the pipe. Essentially like this:
$ cat /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-freebsd.sh | ssh -T -i
path/to/keyfile hostname
and the output is saved into a temporary file to be fed into $XYMON $XYMSRV
"@", but prefixed with a "client" message header.
If you run that "cat ..." command manually it should give you client data
as its output. Try it and see.
If it works, then xymon-rclient should also work and might have a bug. If
this doesn't work, then we can reproduce the problem outside of
xymon-rclient and it will be easier to work on.
I wonder if it's to do with the shell on the FreeNAS. If it's a
non-standard shell, you might need to force a shell in the ssh parameters,
with something like:
cmd(ssh -T -i /home/xymon/.ssh/xymon-rclient root@%{H}
/bin/bash),ostype(freebsd)
