[Xymon] Returning configuration information to the clients

Can someone tell me what should be happening and how to simulate it?

Just for demonstration purposes, this is what it looks like on a UNIX client:

$ xymon $XYMSRV "client name-of-server.example.com.linux linux" log:/var/og/messages:10240

Typically, my "client" message would also contain a bunch of client data, but in this case, I've left it out for clarity. Once a client message is sent, the server waits for the client to shutdown the transmit side of the socket, and then it sends the relevant section of client-local.cfg that matches the OS name, client class, or if present, the hostname.

HTH
