Re: [hobbit] Location of the Linux / Unix client software

[Greg Hubbard <glh.forums (at) gmail.com>]

Xymon is distributed as source code that you compile.  Some of the Linux
distributions have packages available to save you from the config/compile
step, but usually these are older versions.  The server requires a number of
other things (fping, rrdtool, etc.), but the client needs are much simpler.

If your client system is a similar architecture to your server, you can copy
the client directory to your client, though you will still need to integrate
it with startup/shutdown, etc.  Beware of what is in your log and tmp
directories (under client) when you copy this stuff.

You can compile just the client by following the instructions in the
documentation.
