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

[d.tom.schmitt (at) L-3com.com]

Don't mean to be a pain.

Can you point me to the document(s) - that is what I am having problems
finding.
I did not find it in the wiki and I cannot tell from the listing at:
	
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration
_Guide/Compiling_on_CentOS 
	where the client code is - it just talks about building the
server.

Where do I need to get just the client source from?

I am trying to get this information to the *NIX group for testing.
I told him that he could copy over the files but that won't help for
other flavors of *NIX.

         Thanks,

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.
