Location of the Linux / Unix client software
list Tom Schmitt
I know this is a trivial question, but I cannot find the Linux client
code.
Server is Xymon-4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.
I am running the Linux client on a test system currently.
I cannot find the link to the location of the software on any site.
Is there a different software for UNIX vs. Linux?
Is it just source or is it compiled?
I have the directories on the server but don't want to copy them over to
another system.
I could not find any links under Help on the web page nor on Sourceforge
- must be looking for the wrong thing.
I know that the Windows client BBWin has its own site.
Thanks,
Tom Schmitt

Xymon is distributed as source code that you compile. Some of the Linux distributions have packages available to save you from the config/compile step, but usually these are older versions. The server requires a number of other things (fping, rrdtool, etc.), but the client needs are much simpler. If your client system is a similar architecture to your server, you can copy the client directory to your client, though you will still need to integrate it with startup/shutdown, etc. Beware of what is in your log and tmp directories (under client) when you copy this stuff. You can compile just the client by following the instructions in the documentation. GLH

Don't mean to be a pain. Can you point me to the document(s) - that is what I am having problems finding. I did not find it in the wiki and I cannot tell from the listing at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration _Guide/Compiling_on_CentOS where the client code is - it just talks about building the server. Where do I need to get just the client source from? I am trying to get this information to the *NIX group for testing. I told him that he could copy over the files but that won't help for other flavors of *NIX. Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

Xymon is distributed as source code that you compile. Some of the Linux
distributions have packages available to save you from the
config/compile
step, but usually these are older versions. The server requires a

other things (fping, rrdtool, etc.), but the client needs are much
simpler.
If your client system is a similar architecture to your server, you can

The client and server are in the same archive. The source is on Sourceforge and the command to get it (4.2.3 at least) is in that wiki article I linked.

Thanks to all! I finally found the README.CLIENT FILE. It has been since February/March that I set it up. I need better notes! :-(
