Yeah, that's what I would have thought.  But the man page for "How to setup
custom graphs" (https://www.xymon.com/help/howtograph.html) in reference to
setting SPLITNCV says,

 "you must restart Xymon after making these changes ... or at least, kill
the xymond_rrd process ... and they will pick up the new settings."

I think xymond_channel dies when xymond_rrd dies, and so it's actually
xymonlaunch that restarts them both, and at that time, loads their
environment from the "ENVFILE" setting in tasks.cfg.

Cheers
