XymonPSClient.exe is just a renamed copy of ABC_SRVANY.EXE which is just
the service runner that spawns the powershell process to run the script
- it is xymonclient.ps1 that is the actual client code.
> Where logs and temporary files are stored ?
%TEMP%\xymonclient.log - contains date stamp and a copy of the last
client report - written out as a debugging aid, the script doesn't
actually need any temporary files
%TEMP%\xymonconfig.cfg - contains the config returned from the server
after each report is sent (i.e client-local.cfg section).

Note that value of %TEMP% - or in PS $env:TEMP - will depend on whether
you are running the service as specific user or just as a local service,
and on the version of Windows you are using.

David.
