Actually, I believe you'll need to kill the owning xymond_channel process
as well. xymond_rrd's environment is inherited from xymond_channel, and
xymond_channel won't notice any changes in xymonserver.cfg, since it's
simply loaded in by xymonlaunch prior to fork+execution.
Yeah, that's what I would have thought. But the man page for "How to setup
custom graphs" (https://www.xymon.com/help/howtograph.html) in reference to
setting SPLITNCV says,
"you must restart Xymon after making these changes ... or at least, kill
the xymond_rrd process ... and they will pick up the new settings."
I think xymond_channel dies when xymond_rrd dies, and so it's actually
xymonlaunch that restarts them both, and at that time, loads their
environment from the "ENVFILE" setting in tasks.cfg.
