[Xymon] Configuring Devmon for the first time

Tue May 31 01:06:21 CEST 2011

I have no idea what would have changed, but it started working.  This
morning I had no devmon ps, ran the debug options David suggested and
started Devmon up again (./devmon).  It seems to have been updating for the
last 5 hours.
