[Xymon] HP-UX client

[Ralph Mitchell]

It is possible to manage without any compiled binaries, if you just want
the basic reporting from the client.  I found two that needed replacing.
One is the xymon binary, which can be replaced by a shell script using curl
to deliver over http or https. I think the other was logfetch, which is
being used to get the clock time. I'm not using xymon to grab logfiles, so
the date command worked out just fine.
