[xymon] How to use the critical system.

[jef.jagers at thomsonreuters.com]

Instead of clicking on search, enter a hostname and test name.
Click on update.

Check if the file ~/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg has been updated. 
If not, the owner/group that running the webserver doesn't have access
to it. (Change as appropriate)

Ensure the user as whom your web server runs has write access to the
hobbit-
nkview.cfg and hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak files (create them first if
necessary).

Note that errors in the CGIs would go to your web server logs.
