External scripts for Xymon client on Xymon Server

Hi all,

I am not sure what is the correct way to add external scripts to a
client instance running on a machine that houses a server. If you look
in hobbitlaunch.cfg in the server's etc directory, you see:

# "hobbitclient" runs the Xymon client. The client is installed
# automatically when you install a Xymon server (presumably, you do
# want to monitor  the Xymon server ?), but there's no need to have two
# hobbitlaunch instances running at the same time. So we'll just run it
# from here.
# Note: If you are using another client package, you should disable this
# one.

[hobbitclient]
        ENVFILE /opt/xymon-4.2.3/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD /opt/xymon-4.2.3/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitclient.log
        INTERVAL 5m

...however, if I do this, it appears as if either none of the external
scripts run, or if they do run, they don't write anything to the
logfiles/do not get their information to the Xymon server program.

Do I need to add the external scripts to hobbitlaunch.cfg instead of
clientlaunch.cfg? Something else?

Thanks in advance for any help!
