Hi folks,
We've been using monit (latest version) for a while to provide simple 
process monitoring, with email alerts, and auto re-start capabilities. 
However, it appears to be more and more unreliable, and has reached the 
point where it actually isn't fit for purpose. Specifically, on some 
email filter servers, I have regular clamd failures, and it is neither 
detecting them, nor re-starting them, whereas it used to.
I've used nagios, but for this simple task, unless it's changed a lot 
since I last played with it, and become a lot easier to configure, it's 
a total over-kill.
We run gentoo servers, and don't want to mess with the core system, 
startup mechanisms and task management stuff.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple tool similar to monit?
Cheers, Laurie.
