[Xymon] issue of runclient.sh on Solaris 10 Generic_147148-26

[Randall Badilla Castro]

Hi:
I'm recently updating xymon clients and find out the both Sparc or X86 
Machines with Solaris 10+recent patches have problems with the tr command.

For example with my xymon server
[Time:14:48 User:monitor]$ uname -a
SunOS hssapl08 5.10 Generic_142900-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210
[Path:/trabajo/monitor/client]
[Host:hssapl08 Zone:global]
[Time:14:48 User:monitor]$ cat /etc/release
                       Solaris 10 10/08 s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC
            Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
                         Use is subject to license terms.
                             Assembled 27 October 2008

the xymon the runclient.sh script have
SERVEROSTYPE="`uname -s | tr '[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/]' 
'[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_]'`"  # This systems operating system in 
lowercase
works fine.

But recent solaris 10 with patches (almost all machines use the same 
.profile with KSH) don't pick /usr/ucb/tr instead use /usr/bin/tr which 
cause "Bad string"  as output. Then the xymon client don't start fine.

Meanwhile I have modified the runclient.sh to
SERVEROSTYPE="`uname -s | /usr/ucb/tr '[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/]' 
'[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_]'`"  # This systems operating system in 
lowercase
then allowing to run the client.

Since Oracle Solaris® 11 team have stated the /usr/ucb utilities will be 
deprecated some time after Solaris 11.3; I think this issue could be 
relevant.

I'm playing the /usr/bin/tr to acomplish the task and then post findings.

Thanks a lot by this wonder software (xymon).
