Is it possible to have a central config file (like the other paths in
the system config page) that  is referenced?

Are there other hardcoded system utilities that the scripts depend on?
For portability this should be addressed globaly as well as in this
specific case. no?

Thanks for the great work, I am running JFFNMS on FreeBSD with much
sucess. Yesterday I was able to catch an ISP failing to deliver on their
SLA's by tracking packet loss statistics in JFFNMS.  JFFNMS has
therefore very quickly paid for it's  install costs. JFFNMS is one of
the best programs I have used for this type of thing.  Keep up the good
work.

Hi Aaron,

Will it be ok if I just put "touch" in the tmpwatch.sh file ?

Without giving it a full path, so the shell has to figure out its path.

I'll add tmpwatch (as its not installed by default on Gentoo either) to the
INSTALL file requirements.
