Dear Monit Users, I am searching for a light open source tool that will replace tripwire. I was told that Monit can monitor directories and files and report any changes. I installed the latest monit on SLESE 11 I need a small example or documentation about file system monitoring.
Thanks.

I ssh from inside a broadband network to an external server, so I can then ssh back down the tunnel. However, I wish to keep that connection up. I'm setting up the tunnel with the following arguments: PORT_FWD="-R 127.0.0.1:40022:127.0.0.1:22 -L 127.0.0.1:40001:127.0.0.1:40001 -N" My first try was to try an http get down the tunnel from the broadband machine (and make it available down the tunnel), but this doesn't seem to return a 200 - perhaps because I'm using virtual hosts, so monit restarts itself regularly. I then tried just running netcat on a high port on the external machine (40001 as above), and testing for that, but if I kill netcat, monit doesn't seem to notice, and doesn't restart. Here's my config; check process atalanta-tunnel with pidfile /var/run/atalanta-tunnel.pid start program = "/etc/init.d/atalanta-tunnel start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/atalanta-tunnel stop" # For use on remote systems if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 40001 then restart What am I missing? How should I go about achieving this?
