In latest version of the install guide (in perfparse-0.104.3), I read "ed=
it
misccommands.cfg and comment out the following definitions for host and s=
ervice
performance data".

And I confirm that you should have only one definition like that.

Just give a file name and perfparsed will create it as a pipe.
If the file already exists and is not a pipe, perfparsed will refuse to r=
un and you will
read a message in the log.

If you have perfparse installed in /opt/perfparse (e.g. $USER2 is /opt/pe=
rfparse), write
this for the pipe : "|/opt/perfparse/var/perfdata-service.log".

I will do some minor change in the install guide for the 2nd point.
Thanks for the feedback (the best questions go into the FAQ on http://wik=
i.perfparse.org :)
