This always confused me.<br>
In beta2 I run the client tasks specified in
client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg<br>
<br>
in beta3 I run the client tasks specified in server/etc/tasks.cfg<br>
it's even a note in tasks.cfg<br>
# client tasks are configured here, apart from the normal builtin
that runs from xymonclient.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure which method is the correct one in beta2, the note in
beta3 tells me that is the correct method for beta3.<br>

Example, on a hobbit server there are both $hobbithome/{server,client} dirs.
client/ext/na2.sh
[client/etc] tail clientlaunch.cfg
[NA2CPU]
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

Yes, that much I knew. OK, so I've taken another look at this. It looks
as if the external client scripts ARE running, but the data doesn't go
anywhere and there are no ghost clients. I've also checked what I
believe are all of the places that the port and server address are
defined to make sure this isn't all going someplace else.
One of my external scripts, for example, is a vmio script. You can see
it is running the commands needed to accomplish that:
xymon 4976 4973 0 17:50:09 ? 0:00 vmstat 300 2
xymon 4978 4975 0 17:50:09 ? 0:00 iostat -dxsrP 300 2
...however, about 6 months ago, these tests turned purple (to me, what
seems like by magic). The other external scripts (one that gets
temperature and one that does metastat for the SW raid) run too quickly
for me to tell what their story is, but they do not write anything to
the client log directory.
Anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot this?
