 * Since installing this plugin the error log is getting filled with…
 * EXEC functions have been disabled for security reasons in /home/xxxxxx/P4ML4XO9/
   htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-server-stats/wp-server-stats.php on line 272
 * I understand I cannot change what the hosting company sets but can I disable 
   this feature in the plugin?

 * Hi,
   You can ignore the message. The plugin makes a sample exec call to check 
   whether it is enabled. At the time of making the check your host is showing this
   message. The plugin doesn’t use any features that is dependent on exec function
   if the check function says it’s not enabled.
