I think I worked it out.  The first line in "xymonclient.sh" is
"#!/bin/sh".  So doesn't matter what the xymon user's shell is, the script
runs under bourne shell.  Under Linux, /bin/sh is actually a symlink to
bash so the $() works.  But on other systems where /bin/sh is actually a
real bourne shell, you gotta do the bash work-around.
