Sorry I wasn't asking how to do it, just why the script has to run as hobbit when you install out of the box.

Sorry, I am referring to the server startup script. All I do atm is copy the /home/xymon/server/hobbit.sh script and make the modifications as per below. I just wonder however why the script requires to be run as hobbit. I have changed the script as per my instructions and it has been running fine for a couple of years now.
Attached is a version of the hobbit/xymon init script I use. The package we have performs a bunch of substitutions on this to get it to conform to other changes, so it may not work out of the box for you. This should give you at least an idea of one way to do it, though.
