BBGENOPTS (or XYMONGENOPTS in 4.3.x) is not used for the Critical Systems view, since this setting only provides some default options for the "xymongen" utility. And the Critical Systems view is generated by another tool (criticalview.cgi). It's something that I forgot to handle in the Critical systems view. I've attached a patch that will be included in Xymon 4.3.5. It deprecates the "docurl" option for xymongen, and replaces it with a new HOSTDOCURL setting in xymonserver.cfg with the same function. This setting is also used by the Critical Systems view (and other tools). So it should work as you would expect.

Thank you very much, for the fix! I will apply it to the 4.3.4 that we are going to install very soon. This makes the critical system page much more valuable.

I have setup a BBGENOPTS to use a docurl. I expect this URL to show up on the Critical Systems view. Either as the clickable host; either as the Host docs.
