<DIV><SPAN class=667031519-24022011><FONT face=Arial size=2>It would be nice if
there was a way to install particularly the init script automatically. For
example, on Redhat, one has to (copied and pasted from another page - I did
something similar for the version I got from subversion, where I was just
compiling and installing the client):</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=667031519-24022011><FONT face=Arial size=2>One has to also edit
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xymon change the DAEMON to point to one's actual path (which
the configure script already has).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=667031519-24022011><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then you need to
copy /path/to/source/xymon-client.default to /etc/default/xymon-client.
You need to edit it and add the Xymon server IP address, which again, you
already entered in the configure script...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=667031519-24022011><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are several
steps here which could be automated, and it would make installing the client on
machines quicker and less error prone, and many of us have to do this on many
machines.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=667031519-24022011><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suggest the above
could be accomplished with a "make config" or "make init" target from the source
directory, logged in as root.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
