No "Ports" or "Procs" for Darwin (MacOSX) Client 🔗 link

Yes, I correctly configured hobbit-clients.cfg on the Xymon server (Linux
host), 'cuz it works fine on the cluster's head-node, but not on any of the
compute nodes. And it's not a "cluster" thing, 'cuz cpu, disk, memory, and
messages all work fine on the compute nodes.

"Ports" says "No port checks defined", and "Procs" says "No process checks
defined"; but, here are the entries for the first compute node:

HOST=node13.cluster.private
        PROC hobbitlaunch
        PROC sge_execd
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=LISTEN color=yellow TRACK=sshd
"TEXT=SSHD Server"

However, clicking on the blinking white "Ports" LED displays the following:

Thu Jan 14 09:38:57 AKST 2010 - Ports NOT ok

No port checks defined

tcp6       0      0  ::1.631                *.*                    LISTEN

So we see that port 22 is being LISTENed on.

And, clicking on the blinking white "Ports" LED displays the following:

So we see that both the hobbitlaunch and sge_execd processes are present.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Well, I think these tests are coded on the server, and then fetched by the
client and implemented at the client level.  Under perfect
conditions it can take 10 or 15 minutes for the client to retrieve and
implement any changes.  However, if you have coded everything
 correctly (like there is no mismatch on your host name, etc.) then there
may be a problem with the client fetching mechanism.
Since none of your stuff is working, it is hard to say whether the problem
is in your configuration file (remember that Xymon silently
 ignores errors) or in the client itself.
