is the LXC-guests running host Debian or are the guests themselves
running Debian?

As far as I can see, Xymon itself only ships init scripts inside the
packaging for several distributions:

$ als xymon_4.3.27.orig.tar.gz | fgrep init
-rw-rw-r-- rpmbuild/rpmbuild  1885 2016-01-27 22:12 xymon-4.3.27/rpm/xymon-client.init
-rw-rw-r-- rpmbuild/rpmbuild  1313 2016-01-27 22:12 xymon-4.3.27/rpm/xymon-init.d
-rw-rw-r-- rpmbuild/rpmbuild  1406 2011-03-08 14:05 xymon-4.3.27/debian/init-common.sh
-rw-rw-r-- rpmbuild/rpmbuild  2514 2011-03-08 18:20 xymon-4.3.27/debian/xymon-client.init
-rw-rw-r-- rpmbuild/rpmbuild  2278 2011-03-08 18:20 xymon-4.3.27/debian/xymon.init
-rw-rw-r-- rpmbuild/rpmbuild   1360 2011-03-08 18:20 xymon-4.3.27/xymond/etcfiles/rrddefinitions.cfg

So do you use xymon-client as available in stock Debian or do you use
Xymon from https://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/?

These first start-stop-daemon line looks a lot like coming from the
init script from xymon-client as packaged in Debian 8 Jessie.

Please report issues with official Debian packages always via the
Debian Bug-Tracking system (c.f. https://bugs.debian.org/) as it might
be a debian-specific bug like I suspect in this case. At least the
init script distributed with Debian's xymon-client package is
debian-specific.

In this case you don't need to do that anymore as someone else already
did: https://bugs.debian.org/819976

The bug is also already fixed in Debian Testing (although slightly
different than you fixed it) and the fix will be part of the next
Debian Stable release expected somewhen in summer this year.

		Kind regards, Axel
