CLIENTLAUNCH.CFG(5)

✨ CLIENTLAUNCH.CFG(5) ✨

File Formats Manual 🎀 okay bestie, this is a section 5 page, so it's a file format thing — not a command, a vibe. Come learn about clientlaunch.cfg with me 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

clientlaunch.cfg — task definitions for the xymonlaunch utility 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

~xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

That tilde is doing a lot of work there, bestie — it's the Xymon client's own little corner of the filesystem 🌈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So, clientlaunch.cfg is literally the file that holds the list of tasks that xymonlaunch runs on a Xymon client. That's its whole job. Iconic.

Most of the time it's just the Xymon client itself in there — one task, living its simple life, no drama 💅

But here's the slay part: you can add your own custom test scripts to this file, and the Xymon scheduler will run them regularly for you. Not me setting up a cron job by hand when the scheduler will just do it 😭 obsessed. So if you've got a little script with main character energy, this is where it goes, and it gets executed on a regular schedule. Periodt.

💜 FILE FORMAT 💜

The format details? They live over in tasks.cfg(5). Go read that one, bestie — this file uses the same description, fr fr. No cap, that's the whole note 🦋
