Well, it's wrong until a really vital tmpfs partition fills up on you at 
2am =/

This change is actually in 4.4 (Effectively excluding devtmpfs, but not 
tmpfs), but I didn't want to alter expectations in 4.3 --
https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7932/

I could see adding /run/ on some distros to an exclude list that are 
*very* unlikely to fill up, but it's more a matter of cleanliness than 
safety.

I knew there was something else...the disk tests are also picking up 
fake disks...like /run on my Centos instance.  I've added an exclude 
but it still seems wrong.

    Yeah, I thought that was odd, too.  I checked my old configs
    (non-terabithia) and they are set exactly like you mention.  Are
    you using the terabithia rpms?  I suspect it is something specific
    to those.

        $MACHINEDOTS should be being set in xymonserver.cfg, I think. 
        In my installation (xymon-4.3.12) I have it the other way around:

        XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="server.domain.com
        <http://server.domain.com>";   # The hostname of your server
        MACHINEDOTS="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname

        And for some reason I don't remember, the WWW name is set
        explicitly:

        XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="server.domain.com
        <http://server.domain.com>";     # The name used for this
        servers' webserver

            Hey,

            I'm at a loss here.  I'm using the Terabithia RPM for my
            Xymon server and the links that are provided in emails
            only use the shortname of my xymon server.  For example,

            https://shortname/xymon

            instead of

            https://shortname.example.com/xymon
            <https://shortname.example.com/xymon>;

            I've dug through the xymonserver.cfg file to see where
            this is being set and I can trace it to

            XYMONSERVERWWWNAME="$XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME" # The name used
            for this hosts' webserver

            where XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME is defined as

            XYMONSERVERHOSTNAME="$MACHINEDOTS" # The hostname of your
            server. In the RPM, xymoncmd sets this before we get here

            I have FQDN="TRUE" set as well.

            Any idea where I can set this to give me the actual fqdn
            of the server?  I'm assuming that 'xymoncmd' is just
            pulling in 'hostname' rather than 'hostname -f'.  I must
            be missing something.

            Anyone have any insight into what I may be missing?
