<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> If you run it from within ~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd you wouldn’t need to set all those environment variables. Actually, having it run from clientlaunch.cfg would do the same.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> You don’t say what version of Xymon you are using. Is it the Teribithia package? Is that how things are setup in there? I built my own, and I put the xymon-client variables file in /etc/sysconfig
which is the standard for RedHat, as opposed to /etc/default which is a debianism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> Where do you get the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable? Setting this to `hostname` got it to work for me from inside xymoncmd.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> /usr/lib/xymon/client or /usr/lib64/xymon/client?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, I have quite a bit of experience how xymon works in Windows, and recently was given assignments to do some monitoring in Linux. (RHEL 6) Below is my script. It runs with no errors, but my Hobbit page is never propagated with the
new monitor. I have also gone to /etc/clientlaunch.cfg and put in the necessary lines to run this script. I am at a loss as to what is wrong, and why it will not propagate. Any help? (XYMSRV has an actual IP Address in it)<o:p></o:p></p>
