By default, no ... not unless you've created a file at
$XYMONHOME/etc/clientversion.cfg, which gets included in the
[clientversion] section by xymonclient.sh.

The Terabithia RPMs report their RPM version there automatically.
(Presumably if you're installing by RPM you probably wouldn't be running
the clientupdate binary to deploy tarballs.)


Either way, you'd query like so:

/]$ xymon localhost "clientlog rhel6-x86-64.build section=clientversion"
[clientversion]
Xymon version 4.3.11-8.1.el6

/]$
