[hobbit] devmon help

[Aiello, Steve (GE, Corporate, consultant)]

--readbbhosts option only creates the hosts.db file, nothing else.  You
then need to start the devmon proccess without the --readbbhost option
for it to query the SNMP devices.  After starting it doing a ps -ef
should should then number of threads (configured in cfg file) + 1.

Maybe I missunderstood, but happy to help with the experience I have
had.
