Just discover one catch documented at here http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO#What_need_to_be_done_.3F
 
All the external scripts on hobbit client need to be reviewed and to make sure they can send messages to two hobbit server.

Why would you need to update that client?See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO#Why_.3F>Whatever it is, there is no built in way for the Xymon server to modify config files of the clients, sorry!

Xymon server does support "client binary update" ,see  http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/clientupdate.1.html
I am thinking of only upgrade hobbitclients.cfg file in a newer version of xymon client binary tar ball got created on xymon server.
 
a possible workaround solution but better than login into thousand of machines to do the change.
