[Fix] addition of prefixing eval to find command required certain values to be escaped differently for proper function
      of '-r|--recent'
[Fix] util-linux 2.23 supports 'column' command with '-o' but earlier versions do not, resulting in scan reports
      generating empty hit lists
[Fix] importconf was setting invalid vars for custom signature imports; correct variables are import_custsigs_md5_url
      and import_custsigs_hex_url
[Fix] multiplying maldet monitor processes due to 'ps' command expansion under parent bash process on CentOS6
[Fix] added default installation path to ignore_inotify to prevent monitor looping when '/' is scoped into
