All,

The newer versions pcp run as the non privileged user 'pcp' which is obviously good from a security perspective.

My problem is with pmie. How would I get pmie to take some drastic proactive action, such as killing a rogue process ?

One possibility is to give pcp sudo privileges on pmie.

Is there another way ?
