[Xymon] Xymon alerting when it's been told not to

[Ward, Martin]

Thanks Henrik that helped a huge amount. I was able to diagnose the issue which was that I was specifying a subpage incorrectly.

To help those searching the Internet for this problem, if you have a subpage that you want to get alerts about then it must be specified as:

PAGE=Main/Sub

Instead of:

PAGE=Sub

Which is what I had; the actual config lines now work correctly:

PAGE=Infovista/IV32 HOST=%ivma[12].*.osspriv.colt.net EXSERVICE=files,msgs,ports,procs,cpu
        SCRIPT /opt/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl martin.ward at colt.net DURATION>1h COLOR=red RECOVERED STOP

@Kenneth, I tried adding a comma at the end of the EXSERVICE line, it made no difference but thanks for the suggestion.
