xymonclient.cfg - Xymon client environment variables
Contents
Description
Xymon programs use multiple environment variables beside the normal set of variables. For the Xymon
client, the environment definitions are stored in the ~xymon/client/etc/xymonclient.cfg file. Each line
in this file is of the form NAME=VALUE and defines one environment variable NAME with the value VALUE.
Inherited Settings
Some environment variables are inherited from the "runclient.sh" script which launches the Xymon client:
MACHINEDOTS
The hostname of the local system. Default: Taken from "uname -n".
MACHINE
The hostname of the local system, with dots replaced by commas. For compatibility with Big
Brother extension scripts.
SERVEROSTYPE
The operating system of the local system, in lowercase. Default: taken from "uname -s".
