[Xymon] How to launch Xymon client on Ubuntu 12.04

[Larry A. Rosen]

Thanks for the info, I'm glad I am not nuts for not finding those files.  I installed the xymon-client package through Ubuntu's repo via apt-get
and I have it working now.

It is confusing since it uses the old hobbit naming for files. I typically like to get software like this from the author's source (i.e. sourceforge) rather than the distro maintainer since they (Canonical) usually change a lot of things that conflict with the original documentation and file structure.
