Checkstat.sh -> /proc not mounted ??

Hallo all

I've started using checkstat.sh, which does the job of restarting 
Minivend if it's not running, but I get this message from Cron every
time it runs:

Error: /proc must be mounted
  To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
      /proc   /proc   proc    defaults
  In the meantime, mount /proc /proc -t proc
Error: /proc must be mounted
  To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
      /proc   /proc   proc    defaults
  In the meantime, mount /proc /proc -t proc

Doing cd /proc returns "permission denied", so /proc must 
exist. My webhoster is using RH4.2 and cgiwrap - does the 
cgiwrap make any difference in this situation? 

This script used to run without error on my local system 
- RH 5.2 -  (though after installing Gnome it fails to grep - this 
failure is not important) and I've not found any other 
messages on the list about this. I have a suspicion that my 
webhoster, Cihost.com, don't really know what they 
are doing and have screwed something up - would 
this be likely, or does anyone know of a different 
explanation? I don't know much about Linux either (I'm
basically an OS/2 user), but I see that my /mnt does 
not contain proc (and /proc is empty) and it still worked 
without these errors.
Any solutions *much* appreciated - I'm getting 48 
messages a day about this!
