Well done!! Adding the '/bin/bash' to the cmd line worked! Results are flowing in and all is well. Thanks for help. Good job. :-) Signature - Kris

Yes. The xymon-rclient script scp’s the proper script from ~/client/bin to the client and runs it.Actually, that's not correct. It uses "ssh" (or rsh, or whatever you want to give it) to run a shell, then pipes the contents of the xymonclient-freebsd.sh file into the pipe. Essentially like this:
$ cat /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-freebsd.sh | ssh -T -i path/to/keyfile hostname
and the output is saved into a temporary file to be fed into $XYMON $XYMSRV "@", but prefixed with a "client" message header.
If you run that "cat ..." command manually it should give you client data as its output. Try it and see.
If it works, then xymon-rclient should also work and might have a bug. If this doesn't work, then we can reproduce the problem outside of xymon-rclient and it will be easier to work on.
I wonder if it's to do with the shell on the FreeNAS. If it's a non-standard shell, you might need to force a shell in the ssh parameters, with something like:
cmd(ssh -T -i /home/xymon/.ssh/xymon-rclient root@%{H} /bin/bash),ostype(freebsd)
