xymon-4.3.17-5.1.mga5.src.rpm

Updating Xymon Monitor from previous versions
====================================================================
The old SysV scripts for xymon and xymon-client have been replaced 
with a single systemd unit file, 'xymon.service'. The xymon service 
controls both the client and server (if installed). When enabled, 
the xymon service sets up xymon-client alias and either can be used 
to start/stop the service, which will start/stop both the client and 
server (if installed).

Settings from the two most important files, 
/etc/sysconfig/xymon-client and /etc/xymon/bb-hosts, should be in 
place or migrated to the new configuration.

All environmental variables used in the previous version prefixed 
with 'HOBBIT' or 'BB' are now prefixed with 'XYMON'. Any custom 
scripts using the 'HOBBIT' or 'BB' prefix should be updated to 
relect this change.

Custom edits made to previous version hobbit*.cfg files should be 
moved to individual files stored in the appropriate *.d directory. 
Most of the new <name>.cfg files are each set up to include any 
files stored in the <name>.d directory, so they should not be edited 
directly.

Some files have been moved to locations conforming somewhat better 
to FHS. The new locations are listed in README-terabithia.
