External monitor issues

I had copied it over to /var/tmp and tried running it there to no avail. That's where I'd been doing all of my testing. After reading some more, I went back into /config/filestore/files_d/Common/external_monitor_d and ran the external monitor itself. From there, it worked. Seems it was a permissions issue of some kind, though I don't exactly know what. I have it all working now after hours of pulling my hair out. Thanks for the help Kevin.
