I have tested the monit.service on FC16 - works fine, added some comments to it. The file is part of the distribution now (contrib/monit.service), the path in the monit template is set to /usr/local/bin/monit where it installs by default. Also the wiki-howto entry was created which describes the systemd setup for monit: http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/Systemd Thanks for the file Maxim :) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ monit-dev mailing list monit-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-dev
