[Xymon] Ack not working properly Xymon 4.3.0.0 beta2 - upgrade?

[Steve B]

Thanks Ryan.

I have researched and it might not be too much of an issue to upgrade but
seems I will have to get past the tricky step of 4.3.0.0 beta2 upwards
which involves some Hobbit->Xymon name changing in various files.  Perhaps
not so tricky. I'll keep reading up.  Will have to upgrade.
