[Xymon] xymon-client startup script issue (and fix)

[Bakkies Gatvol]

I am documenting this for whomever else may need this. This file is from an rpm xymon-client-4.3.10-1 that I got off the net somewhere. I just figured out why the "stop" does not work.

I set CLIENTHOSTNAME in here

=> more  /etc/default/xymon-client
# Configure the Xymon client settings.

# You MUST set the list of Xymon servers that this
# client reports to.
# It is good to use IP-adresses here instead of DNS 
# names - DNS might not work if there's a problem.
#
# E.g. (a single Xymon server)
#   XYMONSERVERS="192.168.1.1" 
# or (multiple servers)
#   XYMONSERVERS="10.0.0.1 192.168.1.1" 

XYMONSERVERS="10.65.1.66 10.65.20.151"

# The defaults usually suffice for the rest of this file, 
# but you can tweak the hostname that the client reports 
# data with.

# Thu Mar 21 15:30:16 EDT 2013
CLIENTHOSTNAME="$(hostname | cut -f1 -d'.')"

# Red Hat EL version 3 uses a different vmstat layout
# than all other Linux versions. So for a client running this
# particular OS, set CLIENTOS as below.
# Do NOT set this on any other Red Hat version.
# CLIENTOS="rhel3"


but the script does not pass that info on the stop - so the start worked fine, but the stop not. Even the restart worked. I fixed below 

#
# xymon-client    This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#                 the Xymon client.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 20
# description: Xymon is a network monitoring tool that allows \
# you to monitor hosts and services. This client reports local \
# system statistics (cpu-, memory-, disk-utilisation etc) \
# to the Xymon server.
