[Xymon] clientconfig.cfg not getting updated

Hi
It's not the client - it's the server. The client just processes what it receives. It does not receive the entire config file, it receives the portion of the file that the server chooses to send it.

Solved.
I'd added a [powershell] section to the end of the file. The was already a [powershell] section in the middle of the file. The client is obviously not DWIMC compliant (Do What I Mean, Correctly).
Thanks for the help, apologies for missing the obvious.
