There are existing scripts shipped with the source (in rpm/hobbit-client.init

If it doesn't work for you, please file a bug or submit a patch.

(Yes, it hasn't seen the hobbit->xymon change, but will soon, and probably 
needs some LSB headers too, which I will add soon)

Existing RPM packages supplied for RHEL5/CentOS 5 have the init script I 
mentioned above, and ensure the service is set to start at boot (in all normal 
runlevels, not just 5 ...).
