[Xymon] clientlaunch.cfg question

[Bakkies Gatvol]

Answering my own question.

I still don't know what the manpage means exactly, but I discovered complete by accident - 

 the values I specified at the end of the CMD line is loaded into the environment. 

I was trying to access $1 and $2 but instead got ASERV and TTOLIV (and BOGO) set in the environment.  I can work with that!  

here is what I have in clientlaunch.cfg 

[check_mpaths]
        ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
        CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/check_mpaths TTOLIV=5 ASERV=60.75.1.171 BOGO=FOO
        LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/check_mpaths.log
        INTERVAL 5m

       The  command  is  defined  by  the  CMD keyword. This is the full command
       including any options you want to use for this task. This is required for
       all tasks.

When is says

including any options you want to use for this task.


what does it mean?

I was hoping I can pass in some arguments to my script, but it does not work.

So what would be an example of an option for this task?

Befuddled.
