The Monitor_start method obtains the value of the RT_basedir property to construct the full path name for the PROBE program. This method starts the probe by using the infinite retries option of pmfadm (-n -1, -t -1), which means that if the probe fails to start, the PMF tries to start it an infinite number of times over an infinite period of time.
