First, I would like you to stop Monit/Puppet from restarting the client.
After that, kill all "hobbitlaunch" instances. Then start the client
with the "runclient.sh start" command.

That should start the client, and it should remain running until
explicitly stopped.

If it stops, there is a bug. What version of the client software
is this ? Older versions could behave oddly if the system clock
was stepped back in time - the 4.3.0 betas/RC's have this fixed.

>As a consequence each time PID changes, Puppet restarts Xymon client and

"hobbitlaunch" will remain running with the same PID. The actual
client job - that is run by hobbitlaunch - will have a new PID
every 5 minutes.
