[xymon] alternative to bb command

[Mario Andre Panza]

Hi Buchan,

I'm running 4.3.0 but I think my revision is different because I could not
patch do_devmon.c , I've searched the trunk and branch files but I haven't
found the revision 6330 described into the patch file
--- hobbitd/rrd/do_devmon.c     (revision 6330).
Can you help?


Thanks in advance,

Mario.
