Editing UBC Monitoring

Monitoring /proc/user_beancounters to see if any containers are hitting limits is an important part of
managing an OpenVZ installation. containers that are hitting key limits can have applications malfunction in strange
ways that can only be diagnosed by realising that it is a UBC configuration issue.


This script, when run periodically (using cron) will detect changes in the failcnt field of /proc/user_beancounters
