 - Added string encoding to avoid the message 'Wide character in print at

 - Added to force a standard locale in 'port.pm'. in order to be able for
   Monitorix to read the output of system commands (netstat, ...). [#186]
 - Added the new option 'stats_rate' in 'mail.pm' to be able to choose between
   'real' (new default) and 'per_second'.

+This optional list enables the alert capabilities for this graph and complements with the \fBlist\fP option. Each alert has three fields separated by comma: the \fItime interval\fP, the \fIthreshold\fP and the path to the \fIscript\fP to be executed.
+.P
+The \fItime interval\fP is the period of time (in seconds) that the \fIthreshold\fP needs to be exceeded before the external script is executed.
+.P
+The \fIthreshold\fP is the value (either temperature or HZ) that needs to be reached or exceeded within the specified time in \fItime interval\fP to execute the external script.
+.P
+The \fIscript\fP is the full path name of the script that will be executed by this alert.
