[Xymon] XymonD --merge-clientlocal issues

[Thomas Eckert]

Hi Tim,

for future readers: There is an error in the man page `xymond(8)`: `--merge-clientconfig` in `xymond(8)` is **wrong**. The option `--merge-clientlocal` documented in `client-local.cfg(5)` is correct.
You added this in `tasks.cfg` to the launch of `xymond`, right?

I have this running successfully in a Linux-environment with host-specific (`[host=%www.*]`) and class (`[linux]`)-sections and the sections merge fine.

Cheers
Thomas

In testing, Windows powershell clients pick up either the individual host section OR the powershell section, it does not merge. Are there subtleties not in the man-pages that people have found to get it to work? (note that the xymond man-page states to use --merge-clientconfig, but that doesn't work either)
