Doesn't Apple boast OS X (which I'm guessing you're talking about) is UNIX? I would imagine you have gcc and can simply compile the (xymon client) source.

Newest version OS X has compilation issue. A ticket (R1) has been opened. R1:https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2981408&group_id=128058&atid=710488 Once Xymon Wiki is set, we should have a wiki page to document about OS X Xymon client support. In the mean time, please search the users or developer list, there was a work around solution provided. tj On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 12:35 PM, Josh Luthman

It would be nice to have a GUI-ified OSX native version of the client, however.

You want a GUI for the xymon client?

Search the list archives. It can be done. There’s also a property list out there so the client can be managed by launchd instead of a shell script. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>;

I run xymon client on a Mac OSX server. It was rather painless to build , install and get it sending reports to my display server. Just follow the directions for any liniux. About the only thing that I have not gotten to work is to start it through a Mac service. Robert

What I know so far are
1. xymon client is compiled ok on OS X S.L.
2. use GUI packagemaker to create simple hobbit client.
but this is not up the quality of my own standard.
What I want to see is like this
1. use makefile to compile xymon client
2. generate xymonclient.pkg after "make osxpkg"
3. xymonclient.pkg
3.1 preinstall(pre-flight) script
3.1.1. add xymon client user and group account.
3.2 post install script
3.2.1 make sure xymon client can start up automatically after reboot.
3.2 not sure if OS X support postremove script.
if yes, remove xymon client user and group account.
I can work with someone know Cocoa programming and can put
a GUI frontend to process string setting in hobbitclient.cfg etc.
But GUI part is pretty low on my priority list since I am Unix person :)

Sure -- why not? A GUI is foundational in OSX and there's no reason configuration (rather than operation) has to be by text file. Just because the *nix version will work doesn't mean there aren't native things that could be taken advantage of similar to how BBWin, etc does. I'd consider a proper OSX interface to configuration to be among them. The existing client works fine (any bugs notwithstanding) -- I'm just thinking of future goals here. :) -jc

Just seems like a lot of effort to specify Xymon server. That time could be spent many other places like fixing DEPENDS, more documentation, making yellow to red alerts, etc.
