RE: [hobbit] Hobbit startup script.

["David Peters" <davidp (at) electronf.com>]

Sorry, I am referring to the server startup script. All I do atm is copy the
/home/xymon/server/hobbit.sh script and make the modifications as per below.
I just wonder however why the script requires to be run as hobbit. I have
changed the script as per my instructions and it has been running fine for a
couple of years now.

Yes, such as either of the two script shipped in the source distribution. 
While they are in "debian" and "rpm" directories, they are not very specific
to 
each distribution. If you are on Solaris 10, someone has created an SMF
script

Yes, you should not be using the runclient.sh script to start the service at

boot etc.
