Xymon is just one part of the equation for me. I see a lot of potential for Xymon in the Windows world but the BBWin client is well a very quiet project as well. I am not sure yet if we would maybe fork the code or create a new client. At this point I would suggest that maybe we look at a Java based client for xymon so we can run on a huge variety of platforms with one client. Anyway the whole client is a whole different ball game.
I would not be in favor of a java based client, the current design is much better on unix systems. It's one of the reasons xymon works well.
I can understand why Neil has this idea, it flashed in brain before. Why not write once and run every where ? The idea is good but there is resources needed to convert hobbit client into java. Who are going to do it ?
Back to the existing hobbit client implementation.
I do have concerns about hobbitclient-OS??.sh shell script's programming style. There is no check return status of system command it call and there is no error handling when system command faild. I got many purple alert when one of the system command failed or didn't finish in time.
This looks like a job for the bug tracker!
Seriously... While we're brainstorming like this, we shoul be capturing it all somewhere besides email, whether some project management tool, bugzilla, or whatever...
