I cannot get the above to work.

I have a file in analysis.d with the following in it:
HOST=fs1.mydomain.com
     DISK C 90 95
     DISK D 93 95
This was there when the D drive went offline and Xymon never alerted.

To test further, I dropped the warning for the D drive to 78 which is less than
the current usage of 79% and I added the below.
     DISK z 93 95
What I found was the D drive went yellow as expected but the Z drive is ignored
as it does not exist.

I am running 4.3.30 from the Terebithia rpms.

Any other suggestions?
