[Xymon] Tests for the xymon-server

[Novosielski, Ryan]

OK then this threw me off a long time ago and someone gave me the same wrong answer I gave Roland. Shouldn't this be included by default? The understanding about other aspects of the client is that they are run on a server machine automatically, and there's no need to do anything special to get the full client running as well as the server.Why would this one aspect be different/unexpected?

Hi,

you could add your extra tests to clientlaunch.cfg, but by default this
file is not included in the config read from tasks.cfg.

So either add your extra tests directly in tasks.cfg, or add
  include /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
to your tasks.cfg file.


Regards,
Henrik
