MONIT - UNIX Systems Management Introduction ------------ Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes, programs, files, directories and filesystems on a Unix system.

Monit logs to syslog or to its own log file and notifies you about error conditions via customizable alert messages. Monit can perform various TCP/IP network checks, protocol checks and can utilize SSL for such checks. Monit provides an optional http(s) interface and you can use a browser to access the Monit program.
