Installed 4.1.0, started the client, the client spawned dozens of vmstat
commands. A partial ps -ef :

It's an error in the hobbitlaunch.cfg that gets installed with 4.1.0: 
As mentioned earlier, the line "INTERVAL 5m" was left out from the
[hobbitclient] section, causing it to run the client-script as quickly
as possibly. (And since the vmstat runs in the background, you get 
lots of those).

You don't need to explicitly start the client on the Hobbit server.
