Hi,

What I hope willl be a final question about this!
A friend has grabbed the patch from cvs for the divide by 0 memory
bug, and compiled it into the current debian lenny package for me.
This seems to have eliminated the problem, and i have monit running
once again :-)

However, as soon as I try and actually add any processes to monitor
into my monitrc file, I get an error about process engines.
I note that
 Use process engine = False
is set.
Please could you tell me if to get this value to True, it has to be
part of the compile, or a line i would set in a config file somewhere?

Thankyou,

Jenny
