[Xymon] trending graph generation

[Phil Crooker]

Hi Larry,

You are going to have to do some troubleshooting. As I said this NAME
directive does work for others, so there may be a bug with xymon or
there may be some odd issue with your installation. There is nothing
obviously wrong, so please, look into your log fies, turn up debugging,
try different things to see if you can work out what is happening. 

Good luck and let us know how you went.

cheers, Phil
