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
