The monit folk recently released their &#8220;m|monit&#8221; project (<a href="http://tildeslash.com/mmonit/">http://tildeslash.com/mmonit/</a>).</p> <p>Scout looks a heck of a lot cooler, has a great, defined plug-in interface, is much further along, and doesn&#8217;t require <strong>another</strong> process running (should monit monitor m|monit, too??)&#8212;in short, it seems like a far superior solution.</p> <p>What about a plugin that lets you interface with the monit process already running on our servers? I see the plugin library already has a simple script to restart mongrel. But the monit process monitoring/restarting syntax is significantly more advanced: why re-invent the wheel?</p> <p>It could start out simply enough: interrogate the monit conf file and execute commands held within, but seems a short hop to then replace all that m|monit does.</p> <p>Interested in the everyone&#8217;s thoughts!!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>&#8212;<br />Matt</p> Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:49:37 -0000 forums.scoutapp.com:2:5:21 Matt http://forums.scoutapp.com/forums/2/topics/5
