That should work.

Are you running the command on the Xymon server?  If so, it's unusual that
you get a time-out trying to connect to localhost.  If the Xymon daemon is
running, you should get an instant connection.  If it's not running, you
should get an instant connection refused.  A time-out is more typical of a
filtered connection, such as when a Xymon client cannot connect to a Xymon
server because of a firewall in the middle.  But to localhost?  I'm a bit
puzzled by this.  Are you running a host-based packet filter, such as
netfilter, iptables, ipfw?

Can you connect using telnet:

$ *telnet 127.0.0.1 1984*
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connection to 127.0.0.1
Escape character is '^]'.
*^]*
telnet> *quit*
$

Cheers
