Background:

I'm running Xymon release 4.3.0-0.beta2. Installed via tarball.

I've been trying to adapt the init.d scripts provided with Karmic Koala (along with the stuff in /etc/hobbit and /usr/share/hobbit/), and I have Xymon starting (client and server), but for some reason, the bb.html generated is blank (doesn't list any clients). I want something more sophisticated than a simple call to hobbit.sh or runclient.sh, etc., so that's why I'm going with the stuff released in karmic.

I'm not a super savvy guy script wise, and I'm not fully conversant in how bb.html is generated (by bbgen)... Scripts below.

Regards, Thomas

Note: /etc/hobbit consists of symlinks to files stored in /home/xymon/server/etc

/etc/init.d/hobbit

#!/bin/sh

Startup script for the Hobbit monitor

This starts the "hobbitlaunch" tool, which in turn starts

all of the other Hobbit server programs.
