Neil,

Hi All

I got a old Fedora 8 box that I installed the xymon client on. I used the RHEL packages provided by Buchan Milne(thanks for the local mirror) and installed the xymon client using yum install xymon-client. However when I run the runclient.sh I don't get any results I looked into the /logs directory and found the following error.

Could not connect to bbd at 127.0.0.1:1984 - Connection refused

The install did not ask me for a BBhost file so I think the install might have skipped this part. How do I change where the client is reporting to? I looked at all the files in the client/etc directory but could not find anything.

You are probably looking for /etc/default/hobbit-client to configure the address of the server.

If that's not it, go from first principles - either check what is in /etc/init.d/hobbit-client (or xymon-client) or list the installed files. On my system I get:

rpm -ql hobbit-client

/etc/default/hobbit-client /etc/init.d/hobbit-client /usr/lib/hobbit/client /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bb /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbcmd /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbdigest /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbhostgrep /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbhostshow /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/clientupdate /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-darwin.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-freebsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-irix.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-netbsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-openbsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sco_sv.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sunos.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/logfetch /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/msgcache /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/orcahobbit /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext /usr/lib/hobbit/client/logs /usr/lib/hobbit/client/runclient.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3 /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/COPYING /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/CREDITS /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/Changes /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/README /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/README.CLIENT /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/RELEASENOTES /var/log/hobbit
