List,

What are most of you using to monitor the running daemons? I have been 
loooking into DJB daemontools which seems appropriate, but are there 
any others that you reccomend?

If DJB's daemontools is the one, could I get some more examples? I am 
primarily trying to keep my mail system online: postfix, cyrus, 
saslauthd, mysql, and spamassassin.


Thanks for any input
