Did you follow the instructions for configuring your Web server to server the Xymon pages?

Hi all, I really appreciate all the help that I¹ve gotten from the mailing list!
I am trying to create a startup script for OSX 10.4.11, using launchd
I place a file: xymon.plist in: /Library/LaunchDaemons
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>xymon</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
<string>start</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ServiceDescription</key>
<string>Xymon Startup</string>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>xymon</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Ran the command line: Launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/xymon.plist
And in /var/log/system.log: ay 28 13:20:15 ns1 com.apple.launchd[1] (xymon): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds May 28 13:20:25 ns1 xymon[91563]: Hobbit client already running, re-starting it May 28 13:20:25 ns1 xymon[91563]: Hobbit client stopped May 28 13:20:25 ns1 xymon[91563]: Hobbit client for darwin started on ns1.local
Over and over again, and the PID keeps going higher and higher.
And in /Users/xymon/client/log/hobbitclient.log: could not lookup DNS configuration info service: (ipc/send) invalid destination port
I suspect its because of this error that it keeps getting restarted? Any know what this means?
Thanks!!!

The label should probably be something like "dk.hswn.xymon" to
guarantee uniqueness. (That's the convention used by all the existing
plists.)
<key>Program</key> <string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
I don't know for certain, but I think launchd should be replacing the
runclient.sh script, not calling on it. For instance, the script is
designed to start up the Xymon client and then exit, whereas launchd
expects the thing it started to keep running. You may have to dig into
the script to figure out what it does on a Mac and then tell launchd
to do that. (From just a quick scan, it looks like it needs to call
hobbitlaunch with the appropriate options for your system.)
A list of what launchd expects from the program it calls can be found
in the man page for launchd.plist. I don't know enough about
hobbitlaunch to tell you if it meets those requirements, but I'm
pretty sure the shell script does not based on the fact that it exits.
This might have nothing to do with the error Xymon throws, but it
would at least explain why launchd keeps restarting the script.

The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership.
Hi Rob, I think your right about the respawning. Makes sense, that the runclient.sh just stops after it calls up the other programs.
I do know that runclient.sh called by itself works. I'll try and spend more time on a better formed plist.
