When changes are made in JavaMonitor, it sends messages to each wotaskd to 
update its local copy of the SiteConfig.xml file.  Each machine will have the 
configuration for all machines.  wotaskd reads this file to get the 
configuration.  Each wotaskd only manages instances running on its own machine 
(it ignores the rest of the configuration).
