Answering my own question.
I still don't know what the manpage means exactly, but I discovered complete by accident -
the values I specified at the end of the CMD line is loaded into the environment.
I was trying to access $1 and $2 but instead got ASERV and TTOLIV (and BOGO) set in the environment. I can work with that!
here is what I have in clientlaunch.cfg
[check_mpaths] ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/check_mpaths TTOLIV=5 ASERV=60.75.1.171 BOGO=FOO LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/check_mpaths.log INTERVAL 5m

The command is defined by the CMD keyword. This is the full command
including any options you want to use for this task. This is required for
all tasks.When is says
including any options you want to use for this task.
what does it mean?
I was hoping I can pass in some arguments to my script, but it does not work.
So what would be an example of an option for this task?
Befuddled.
