From 8a533ce6a4f030b8b5c505b649e232f1354dc24f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Fabien Wernli <cpan@faxm0dem.org>

Subject: [PATCH] allow for non-root user to run script. As collectdmon handles
 its pidfile, this would require to change COLLECTMONPIDIR to something else
 than only-root writeable /var/run
