[Xymon] help with xymon client configuration

[Ciprian Parfon]

Hi J

I do have the IP of the Xymon server in xymonclient.cfg on the hosts 
which has the client installed. I have checked from the client if the 
port, 1984 is open and it is.

zeratul etc # telnet 89.22.97.130 1984
Trying 89.22.97.130...
Connected to 89.22.97.130.
Escape character is '^]'.
quit

Unfortunatelly there isn't anything more the the "conn" "info" and 
"trends" on Xymon server display.

I can't see anything relevant in the xymond logs.

On the hosts which I have the client installed I have this:

zeratul client # ps aufx |grep xymon
root     10279  0.0  0.0   4452   756 pts/1    S+   12:32 0:00      |   
|   |               \_ grep --colour=auto xymon
root     10115  0.0  0.0   2048   512 ?        S    12:30   0:00 sh -c 
vmstat 300 2 1>./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10083 2>&1; mv 
./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10083 ./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul
root     10226  0.0  0.0   2028   504 ?        Ss   12:31   0:00 
./bin/xymonlaunch --config=./etc/clientlaunch.cfg 
--log=./logs/clientlaunch.log --pidfile=./logs/clientlaunch.zeratul.pid
root     10263  0.0  0.0   2048   508 ?        S    12:31   0:00 sh -c 
vmstat 300 2 1>./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10231 2>&1; mv 
./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul.10231 ./tmp/xymon_vmstat.zeratul
