NAME

       hobbitclient.cfg - Xymon client environment variables

DESCRIPTION

       Xymon  programs	use  multiple environment variables beside the normal set of variables.  For the Xymon client, the environment definitions
       are stored in the ~xymon/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file.  Each line in this file is of the form NAME=VALUE and  defines  one  environment
       variable NAME with the value VALUE.

	      BBDISP=0.0.0.0.
