Possible Bug in xymon-client startup script
Hi all,
Scientific Linux 5.x and 6.x
xymon 4.3.13
When you establish a different host name in the file /etc/default/xymon-client than the hostname derived by uname -n, the stop and restart commands do not work.
If you set CLIENTHOSTNAME in /etc/default/xymon-client to something other
than uname -n, when the client starts, it creates a file in the form of
clientlaunch."CLIENTHOSTNAME".pid
The /etc/init.d/xymon-client (rpm/xymon-client.init) script uses a variable
called $DMNOPTS that contains configuration items to form the command line
options for xymon. This script uses $DMNOPTS in the call to "runclient.sh
start". It does not use $DMNOPTS in the call to "runclient.sh stop". This
makes the stop process use uname -n to look for the pid file. It does
not exist and the client does not get stopped.
Fix:
Change the following line in rpm/xymon-client.init from:
su -c "$DAEMON stop" - xymon
to:
su -c "$DAEMON $DMNOPTS stop" - xymon
It needs to be changed in the call to stop and restart the service.

Thanks, it seems your Linux distro uses the standard RPM init-script, so I have applied your fix there. Hopefully they will pick it up.

Ah yes, I thought I'd seen this before: http://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2013-September/038199.html
