Add reporter ProcMon fails to be added

[tdnavarrom]

Maybe is the ProcMan XML format that it could have been updated that makes unreadable the file produced and converted by procman. but SPADE is unable to add the procman reporter with the input file in XML format following the instructions provided by the wiki. We tried to open it using WSL and a VM that already had ubuntu working with SPADE previously and it did not work.

We added readable permissions to the file and also is in the same directory as the spade binary.

-> exit

The following is the log file:

It works with the full path, but not relative path.
