[Xymon] Xymon Setup

[Jeremy Laidman]

That's weird.  The error message says that it's trying to load the task
defined in tasks.cfg section [xymon].  My tasks.cfg has no [xymon].  The
nearest match is [xymond].  Similarly, the command 'xymon' would have been
defined in a "CMD" line, and my tasks.cfg has no such line.

You should check your tasks.cfg (and tasks.d directory contents) for
invalid entries.  A useful diagnostic is to dump the tasks like so:

xymoncmd sh -c '$XYMONHOME/bin/xymonlaunch
--config=$XYMONHOME/etc/tasks.cfg --dump'

This will show you the tasks configuration after being parsed by
xymonlaunch, which includes slurping in include files, stripping comments,
de-duplicating entries, and dropping unrecognised keywords.
