DM Numeric custom script monitor

Hallo,


>#!/bin/sh
>`cat /my_dir/my_dir/my_file`

is the use of backticks really intended here? This is mostly dangerous!
The contents of the file is executed as a shell command, and
depending on the file permissions anyone might write to the file
(imagine someone uses echo 'rm -fr /* > /my_dir/my_dir/my_file)

Tschau...Thomas
