How do you know the first update is working?

Have you checked for clues in the logfiles xymonclient.log and clientlaunch.log?

Try running the client script manually (as the xymon user), perhaps like so:

$ sudo -u xymon ~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd
$ $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonclient.sh

and see if you get any errors.  Check that you're creating a non-empty
file in $XYMONTMP called "msg.<hostname>.txt".

Try running the following (as the xymon user) and look for problems:

$ $XYMON --debug $XYMSRV "@" < $XYMONTMP/msg.$MACHINEDOTS.txt
