Hi Ajay,

That's an interesting bug there.

The format for the SCRIPT line there is incorrect. The line:
     SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/scripts/connect.sh MAIL 
ampinder.singh at cgi.com COLOR=red
should just be:
     SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/scripts/connect.sh ampinder.singh at cgi.com 
COLOR=red

You should be able to run xymoncmd xymond_alert --dump-config before and 
after to see the difference.

That being said, that mis-parsing shouldn't be causing commented lines 
to be read in improperly... So this is definitely a bug *somewhere*. 
Thanks for catching it.
