Axel, Yes, that is a typo in the man page for xymongrep. I searched the source code to verify that XYMONSERVERS is the correct environment variable.

Hi,

I just noticed that while everywhere $XYMONSERVERS (plural, with an "S" at the end) is used as variable, the xymongrep(1) man page refers to a $XYMONSERVER variable (without trailing "S"):

--loadhostsfromxymond

      xymongrep will normally attempt to load the HOSTSCFG file by
      itself when searching for lines to transmit. If the file is
      unreadable, it will exit out. With this option, it will
      query the xymond server (set via the XYMONSERVER
      environment) for the hosts file. This can be used if you're
      running this on a client or remote system and can't or don't
      want to have the hosts.cfg file synchronized across your
      servers.

I assume this is a typo, right?

            Kind regards, Axel
