 * Hello,
    My Server administrator wants to stop using command
 * `@exec('host -W '.escapeshellarg($timeout_secs).' '.escapeshellarg($ip), $output);//
   plan a`
 * which is located at line no 834 in file class-wo-view.php as due to this command
   server crashes and abrt is generated.
    Is there any option in admin panel to 
   disable this command from being further executed. I think the plugin can work
   without executing this command.
 * Your plugin is really good! No doubt! But its request from my host to stop executing
   host -W command.
 * Hope we can really work out something without disabling your plugin so can i 
   can keep using this awesome plugin!
    Thanks.

 * Hi did you try to rem that line with //? That is probably the fastest solution
   for now. But at the same you also best test to make sure the plugin still functions
   correctly.
 * I will also send a message to the developer.
