RE: DM Numeric custom script monitor

Brian, 

I think the idea is to print a numeric value to stdout, but exit with a
zero.

As in:
---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Count the number of processes :
PS_COUNT=`ps -ef|wc -l`
echo $PS_COUNT

exit 0
---------------------------------

hth,

James
