[Xymon] migrating xymon

[Richard L. Hamilton]

I would think that if you didn't already have xymon on the new server, it'd just be a matter of making a tarball of the xymon home directory including data and configuration files, copying it to the new system, extracting it in the appropriate place, and making the manual changes.

But with both already running, it's not an upgrade, it's a merge.  And I don't know that there are really tools for that, _unless_ no client appears in both, in which case I'd think it would be straightforward enough.

I see that there is an "upgrade" script, and a list of manual stuff as alternative actions...  but they both rather assume you are staying on the same server to upgrade only xymon  ie everything is in situ.
