[Xymon] error on script

[Vernon Everett]

Hi all

I just had a scan through one of my old USB thumb-drives on my key-ring,
and behold, I found a copy of my version from 2006.
Doing a compare though, I see the only change is to use a different
instance of ksh.
I think I must have got fed up trying to mod the code.

Sorry I can't help you much further.

Regards
     Vernon
