See my e-mail of 2 days ago (RE: [Xymon] Problem adding GRAPHS in
xymonserver.cfg (known bug?)) for related issues - what is described
above is how it should work, but in practice it seems to look for RRD
files matching graph definitions - i.e. graphname.*.rrd as a first pass
before getting to the FNPATTERN step when it actually generates the
graph image. In other words, svcstatus.sh doesn't use FNPATTERN but
showgraph.sh does.

Even if svcstatus.sh did use FNPATTERN, some graphs will appear multiple
times on the trends page but others only once.
