[Xymon] Xymon server fqdn

Well, it's wrong until a really vital tmpfs partition fills up on you at 2am =/

This change is actually in 4.4 (Effectively excluding devtmpfs, but not tmpfs), but I didn't want to alter expectations in 4.3 -- https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7932/

I could see adding /run/ on some distros to an exclude list that are *very* unlikely to fill up, but it's more a matter of cleanliness than safety.

I knew there was something else...the disk tests are also picking up fake disks...like /run on my Centos instance. I've added an exclude but it still seems wrong.

Yeah, I thought that was odd, too.  I checked my old configs
(non-terabithia) and they are set exactly like you mention.  Are
you using the terabithia rpms?  I suspect it is something specific
to those.

    $MACHINEDOTS should be being set in xymonserver.cfg, I think. 
    In my installation (xymon-4.3.12) I have it the other way around:

    XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="server.domain.com
    <http://server.domain.com>"   # The hostname of your server
    MACHINEDOTS="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname

    And for some reason I don't remember, the WWW name is set
    explicitly:

    XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="server.domain.com
    <http://server.domain.com>"     # The name used for this
    servers' webserver

        Hey,

        I'm at a loss here.  I'm using the Terabithia RPM for my
        Xymon server and the links that are provided in emails
        only use the shortname of my xymon server.  For example,

        https://shortname/xymon

        instead of

        https://shortname.example.com/xymon
        <https://shortname.example.com/xymon>

        I've dug through the xymonserver.cfg file to see where
        this is being set and I can trace it to

        XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # The name used
        for this hosts' webserver

        where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is defined as

        XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your
        server. In the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before we get here

        I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.

        Any idea where I can set this to give me the actual fqdn
        of the server?  I'm assuming that 'xymoncmd' is just
        pulling in 'hostname' rather than 'hostname -f'.  I must
        be missing something.

        Anyone have any insight into what I may be missing?
