[Goodies-dev] genmon-plugin not working on OpenBSD

[Juju]

Hi,

The problem comes indirectly from modifications I made. I rethink and
simplify the Timer system because in some special cases, multiple
timers were started. So I start only 1 timer (the SetTimer() is called
once) and if you want to recreate a new timer, you simply have to put
"0" in "iTimerId".

If you remove the "SetTimer()" line, the command won't be spawn
cyclically so the plugin won't work properly.

I'll take a look at this... (But if you have a patch, don't hesitate !)
