#    0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * *   /path/to/ihostchk.sh
# And if you find yourself getting e-mails, use the following instead:
#    0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * *   /path/to/ihostchk.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
# NOTE: e-mails should only be sent if an error occurs, so the former is
#       the best choice for a cronjob.

Log Message:	This change has been rolled back. It caused no end of problems for us because our home directories are NFS mounted - so the PID file was the same on a whole block of our hosts... which meant the PID checking really didn't want to work :) Not to mention the problems introduced with the NFS going funny at times ;) <sigh>
