Not quite right, because the CMD setting doesn't permit you to set 
environment variables that way (the command isn't passed to a shell, but 
executed directly). So the easiest thing to do is to have a shell-script 
"wrapper" around the xymonnet command, that sets the XYMONNET 
environment variable.

Good question - off the top of my head, I'd say "yes, you should".
