Changes between mon-1.0.0pre3 and mon-1.0.0pre4
Tue Aug  3 08:02:35 EDT 2004
-----------------------------------------------

-when allow_empty_group is not set and no host arguments
 to pass to a monitor, the interval wasn't being reset so
 it would spam the syslog with lots of "no host arguments"
 messages. this is fixed.

-in reset_timer, there was a chance that _timer could get
 set to a negative value, which is not right. fixed it.

-fixed the bug where lots of mon processes could accumulate if the
 exec of an alert failed. also fixed error handling of failed
 alerts.

-added "show failures only" button to mon.cgi to speed it up.

-small permissions fix to rpm spec file

-added MON_CFBASEDIR variable to monitor and alert
 environment, which is set to the value of "cfbasedir" in the
 config file.

-removed unfinished snmp trap handling stuff. it doesn't work at all,
 and it's misleading to people even though the man page says it doesn't
 work.

-added monitor_duration and monitor_running output to opstatus detail
