ragraph and cron/shell problems?

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Wolfgang,
Right now, we don't have a perl INSTALL strategy for ragraph.pl,
and so having the path to rabins updated at install time is not going
to happen until after argus-3.0.0 is released.  (not sure how to pass
Makefile variable declarations into the perl script, outside of the
standard perl INSTALL strategies. Sure we can do some sed
call, but I'm not tooooo comfortable with that).

So, ..., I made the path for RABINS "/usr/local/bin/rabins", which
is the default install path.  I also put in a check and an error  
statement
in ragraph,  so that it will explain why its in trouble,  and I'll  
put some
documentation to explain in the INSTALL file.

Hopefully that will be enough for now?

Carter
