Hello.

Some time it is needed to change some utilites. For example for
monitoring OpenVZ host system without VPS. What about to add a
some changes to xymonclient-linux.sh ? Exemplary patch in the
attachment.

This patch contains potential problem: loss a compatibility with
bb's scripts with $PS. Perhaps it should be considered.

Examle using with vzprocps:

TOP="/usr/bin/vztop -E 0"
PS="/bin/vzps -E 0"

Regards,
Sergey

I'll agree to changing the "ps" command in xymonclient-linux.sh to a variable $PS, but deciding what those variables should point at is done in the xymonclient.cfg config file. And I think your case of running the client on OpenVZ is one of those cases where it is reasonable that you must configure it by hand instead of relying on the configure-script to get it right.
