...and that's the answer. The "$" is being interpreted by xymoncmd as part
of a non-existent variable, and so I end up with just "test=s". I don't
think I can escape the dollar sign in xymoncmd.
It all works as advertised if I simply run the command without xymoncmd
like so:
$ xymon localhost 'xymondboard test=s$ fields=testname'|head
