[Xymon] [Newbie] Smaller, lighter Xymon based program?

[James]

Thanks for the reply, Roland,
What you pointed seems like a very straight forward process, however, I'm
still figuring out all those .cfg and .c files in Xymon (I call Xymon a
package because it includes a lot of folders/files) and I guess it takes a
while to get a good understanding.
What I am going to do now is to continue my study on "Xymonping.c" and then
"Xymonserver.cfg"
One silly question, is Xymon (in my case Xymon-4.3.10) shipped with both
server and client? If so, I can ignore those files which belong to client
side, right?
Thanks for the advisory, I really appreciate that :D
