Re: [webmin-l] Question about the MON monitoring component

[Tim C. <TC...@Bu...>]

Jamie - one other request...

Mon supports the usage of m4 for their config files.  Would it be
possible to integrate that support into Webmin as well? =20

Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the info - I will update the next Webmin release to
handle this format. In the short term, you can edit the file
mon/mon-lib.pl
under the Webmin root directory, and change line 16 to :

                          'failure_interval', 'redistribute' ],
