Thanks for the patch, i've made a simple monitor to check for http content
and produces shor and concise messages designed for pagers or cellphones,
it's a very lame bash script that uses lynx and grep, but strangely it
uses far less processor than lwp-http.monitor, (it hogged the k6-2/500
where mon is running)
Should i post it, anyone interested ??
