I'll agree to changing the "ps" command in xymonclient-linux.sh to a 
variable $PS, but deciding what those variables should point at is done 
in the xymonclient.cfg config file. And I think your case of running the 
client on OpenVZ is one of those cases where it is reasonable that you 
must configure it by hand instead of relying on the configure-script to 
get it right.
