[hobbit] devmon help

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

You may want to use the Devmon mailing list for your devmon woes,
devmon-support-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net.

By default, when you start devmon, devmon runs as a daemon. to
troubleshoot you can use the -f option to keep it in the foreground,
i.e.  ./devmon -f -vvvv

that may output information to point you in the right direction.
