Throughout the Xymon 4.2.2 documentation, I've been seeing mention of
various environment variables (BB, BBCMD, etc.), but I haven't seen
anything that set them up.  I've been assuming that this was just
documentation shorthand to tell the reader "use the 'bb' command here",
but now I wonder if that is correct.  Is the a script that I should be
sourcing in my (or xymon) login scripts to get the proper defintions of
these environment variables?

They are defined in hobbitserver.cfg . The recommended way of getting
them setup for your scripts is to either run the scripts via
hobbitlaunch, or via the 'bbcmd' utility:
   bbcmd /usr/local/bin/myscript
