 Many Macs have hard drives with a default name like "Macintosh HD".  They
 also may have a Time Machine volume with a name like "Time Machine" or
 "Time Machine Backups".

 The present Mac port of the Xymon client code does not deal well with
 this.

 Only the first element (e.g. "/Volumes/Macintosh" or "/Volumes/Time") is
 emitted from the "xymonclient-darwin.sh" script.

 This is present not only in the Xymon 4.3.10 code in the current MacPorts
 port but also in the current Xymon 4.3.17 mainline release.

 This makes it very difficult to use Xymon in a work environment where one
 might like to monitor Macs as well as more common (Linux, Solaris)
 systems.

 I am creating this ticket in hopes that Xymon author Henrik Størner and
 Xymon MacPorts port maintainer François Claire can somehow find a way to
 fix this  :-)

 Please see attachment for partial fix and suggestion for changing the
 ''df'' processing section to one that is iterative over the output of the
 the original ''df''.
