[Xymon] Configure remote client to be monitored by xymon

[Jeremy Laidman]

Look at the Ghost report on the Xymon server to see if it recognises the
client hostname, and adjust on either end if required.

Look at the logfiles clientlaunch.log and xymonclient.log to see if
anything weird is showing up.

On the client, see what happens when you run this (replace xymoncmd if it's
somewhere else):

echo '$XYMON $XYMSRV ping' | ~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd

and if that works, try this:

echo '$XYMON $XYMSRV "config hosts.cfg"' | ~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd

and then this:

echo '$XYMON $XYMSRV "client/test $MACHINEDOTS."' |
~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd

and maybe this:

echo '$XYMON $XYMSRV ghostlist' | ~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd

Cheers
Jeremy
