I have the xymon client running on a mac osx, and I'm now looking to
find a way for the client to run at startup.

You'll probably want to use launchd to run it. See the man pages for
launchd and launchd.plist. There's a nice tool called [Lingon][1]
that will help you create the property list.

Here are some files I've been playing with to get hobbit client launching under OSX 10.5.

/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xymon.client.plist /usr/lib/hobbit/client/launchclient.sh

I put hobbitclient into /etc/defaults rather than /etc/default (which doesn't exist on OSX).

Then you need to load the launchd plist: $ sudo -s

launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xymon.client.plist

launchctl start com.xymon.client

reboot to be sure to be sure it works on startup.

Still need to get back to completing an OSX package of the client. Maybe next week...
