[Xymon] error on script

[Vernon Everett]

I remember bumping into this one some time back.
I cannot remember how I fixed it - although I have vague recollections of
modifying it to suite my ksh version.
That was about 5 or 6 contracts ago, so I no longer have the code, but I
think I did pass it on to somebody on the list.

There is also a remake of bb-moracle on the Xymonton web page. It looks
like it needs sh, making it a little more portable.
Why not check if that will suit you needs?

Regards
