After the initial two runs, it should run and generate with each 
xymonclient-linux.sh execution. Make sure you're running as the 
appropriate user and with write privileges into the logfetch.status file 
when executing it by hand.

For debugging, you can wrap the call in the shell code with whichever 
output you'd like and it will return in the temporary .msg file as it's 
constructed. If it's executing, but not doing anything, you could 
prepend an strace to see if it's short exiting for some reason.

For what should be a last result, you could try clearing that file out 
to force it to rescan all log files from their start position.
