@Jeremy
This made everything come together, thank you!
Note that xymoncmd (and xymonlaunch) sets BB environment variables for backwards-compatibility, so no need to change the variables.
Try:
~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd ./bb-mdstat.sh
Cheers

A few things:
Nowhere on the internet could I find the “default” XYMON/HOBBITHOME and its really hard to find because XYMon symlinks files all over the place, I think a note saying, Check here but it might not work would be useful to many.
Also I had to change the following in the config file for the [raid] flag, but really, I think xymon should have done this. [sudo ln –s hobbitclient.cfg xymonclient.cfg] for compatibility, I understand that it’s a lot to update each time xymon changes its name, but I think it’s finally settled down with xymon!
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
TO :
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
I tried this >>
<http://www.it-eckert.com/software/raid-monitor/>; http://www.it-eckert.com/software/raid-monitor/
But my sd* get rearranged upon reboot so that didn’t work, but I was able to get bb-mdstat to work!
Only problem left, it doesn’t seem to be updating :(…. I used /etc/xymon/clientlaunch.d/bb-mdstat.cfg which everything seems setup to run correctly, but my status seems to stay unchanged…. But easy fix, I just run the below cmd in cron every 5 minutes.
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd /usr/lib/xymon/client/ext/bb-mdstat.sh
I made a few write-ups if anybody is interested, thanks for getting me rolling on my raid-monitoring!

Hello XYMon Guru’s!
I am trying to configure bb-mdstat found on https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:bb-mdstat , but all the variables point to BB*** and it doesn’t work, I think all the “scripting” would work If I could just figure out how to set the variables correctly, any chance we could get this updated for XYMON Variables.?
It's designed to run in an Xymon/BB environment, such as via xymoncmd or bbcmd.
Note that xymoncmd (and xymonlaunch) sets BB environment variables for backwards-compatibility, so no need to change the variables.
Testing :
donut at FileServer:/usr/lib/xymon/client/ext$ ./bb-mdstat.sh
Try:
~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd ./bb-mdstat.sh
Cheers
