I was searching for something like that, but haven't found any. Where would the core files reside?

That sounds like the client runs once, sends some info, then quits. Thirty minutes later the display goes purple because no further reports were received. Are there any core files??

Having an odd problem that I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot it.
I'm using Xymon 4.2.3 on Debian (kernel 2.4.27-2-386).
I have one client which was was installed as user 'xymon' (configure/make/make install).
I run the client with 'runclient.sh start' and I see the services go great on the web interface. All looks great.
After about 30 minutes however, the client seems to stop sending reports to the server, and all services go purple.
Here's what I see when looking at the process listing on the client when things are working correctly:
xymon at JBLDMZWEB01:~/client$ ps -ef | grep hobbit xymon 25702 1 0 05:23 ? 00:00:00 /home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/home/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg --log=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.log --pidfile=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.JBLDMZWEB01.pid xymon 25724 1 0 05:23 ? 00:00:00 sh -c vmstat 300 2 1>/home/xymon/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.JBLDMZWEB01.25707 2>&1; mv /home/xymon/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.JBLDMZWEB01.25707 /home/xymon/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.JBLDMZWEB01
And then when the client stops reporting to the server, the process listing looks like this:
xymon at JBLDMZWEB01:~/client$ ps -ef | grep hobbit xymon 25702 1 0 05:23 ? 00:00:00 /home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/home/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg --log=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.log --pidfile=/home/xymon/client/logs/clientlaunch.JBLDMZWEB01.pid
So other than the virtual memory stats missing from the process list, it seems like it should still be sending reports.
I've checked the log files in 'logs/' and 'tmp/' but found nothing useful.
This is a pretty fresh install of the Xymon server/client, so there isn't really much that hsould be affecting it.
Should I be running the client as root? Does it provide more logs that way?
Any thoughts?
