Xymon users,
Xymon Version: 4.3.10 OS Version: Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS
Can anybody advise me on how to make xymon server(xymon.sh) start automatically on server reboot? I also need to do the same for clients(runclient.sh).
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
On Gentoo systems, I normally just put the following line into /etc/local.d/local.start
For server: su - xymon -c "~/server/xymon.sh start"
For client: su - xymon -c "~/client/runclient.sh start"
In Ubuntu the file to put that line into is: /etc/rc.local
Hope this helps.

Assuming a nongraphical boot:
ln -s /path/to/xymon.sh /etc/rc3.d/S98xymon ln -s /path/to/xymon.sh /etc/rc6.d/K98xymon
If you're booting with a GUI, substitute rc5.d for rc3.d.

Actually, you should do it for both runlevels 3 and 5, in case the default runlevel needs to change in the future. Also, as I understand it, a "K" symlink should not be required for runlevel 6, and instead should be in the runlevel being exited (ie 3 or 5).
Ubuntu is Debian-based, so the Debian init scripts provided in the Xymon source should be suitable (xymon.init and xymon-client.init in the debian directory).
On the server:
cp xymon-4.3.10/debian/xymon.init /etc/init.d chkconfig --add xymon
On the client:
cp xymon-4.3.10/debian/xymon-client.init /etc/init.d chkconfig --add xymon
All of this should be taken care of if you install using a .deb package, which is available from the Sourceforge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.10/Ubuntu1204/
Cheers Jeremy
