[Xymon] Tests for the xymon-server

I was actually under the impression that this just straight-up ran the
client (it's in hobbitlaunch.cfg, the former name for tasks.cfg):

# "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

...so if this is the way I'm running the client, can I expect not to
have my clientlaunch.cfg honored?
