I want to set up a monitor which sends an email if a website goes down. I don't have root access on the machine I will run Monit on. The Monit documentation describes how to modify /etc/inittab to run Monit, but is silent as to how to run Monit from the crontab program.
Because Monit looks for a control-file in ~/.monitrc, it would seem that Monit should be usable for non-root users. Can Monit be run from crontab? If so, should Monit be started as a daemon when run from crontab? -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
