I'm starting to use 'monit' at more sites, to monitor essential services and restart them if there is a problem. The thing is, monit uses the existing RC framework to start and stop these services, so when a machine is first started the RC system we have both the RC and monit starting these services, and I have seen things get Ugly (processes abort while there are multiple simultaneous attempts to start them, with the result that monit stops trying and the processes do not get started). I figure there are several ways to crack this problem, and I'd bet that other folks have thought about it already and might even have solutions. Harlan
