If I restart xymon while using tcsh, for example, suddenly my ntp test
breaks, because:
===
red Thu Oct 16 22:39:47 2014 ntp NOT ok
Service ntp on <elided> is not OK : Service unavailable
Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 <elided> 2>&1
1: Permission denied.
===
/var/log/xymon/1, of course, is confused about the value of 2, because it
can write there sometimes, which is also interesting. For the moment, I've
hard coded 'export SHELL=/bin/sh' in the startup script for xymon, but the
assumption shouldn't be made that $SHELL is a /bin/sh derivative.
