[Xymon] xymonlaunch is not updating after the first update

[Mark Falzon]

How do you know the first update is working?
	After running ~xymon/client/runclient.sh I run a tcpdump and can
see a flow of packets and tests are green. 
	I don't see any packets sent after this.

Have you checked for clues in the logfiles xymonclient.log and
clientlaunch.log?
	Don't see any errors in both logs

Running both xymoncmd and xymon runs without errors. It just seems like
the xymonlaunch is not updating every x interval.

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
