Using Xymon 4.3.7, I am trying to install a BB client script onto a Xymon client. However, the script uses some variables which no longer seem to be available in Xymon. It uses the BBHOSTS and MACHINE variables.
MACHINE is defined - it is setup by the "runclient.sh" script which is used to start the Xymon client.
BBHOSTS is not set, since that should not be used by a client script - it is only available on the Xymon server. I don't recall if the BB clients required a bb-hosts file to be present on the client side...
The problem is basically that the client needs to look up its name in the hosts.cfg file.
Why the heck would it need to do that ? I mean, surely it knows who itself is.
It would probably be easier if you could post a pointer to the script you're trying to use. It might even be that there are newer/better/xymon-friendlier replacements available ...
