[PATCH 2/2] tmon: set umask to a reasonable value

From: Neil Horman
Date: Tue Jun 17 2014 - 16:05:45 EST


current, the tmon umask value is set to 0, which mean whatever the permission
mask in the shell are when starting tmon in daemon mode are what the permissions
of any created files will be. We should likely set something more explicit, so
lets go with the usual 022
