Oh, and the name. It took me forever to stumble on mon. I'd been looking at hobbit, nagios, etc. Searched many times over and wasn't satisfied. Even knowing about mon, it's impossible to search for stuff related to it. Is it ever mentioned on linuxquestions.org? on sunmanagers list? who knows? can't filter for it. oh, but I did mention it the other day on linuxquestions, so, yes, it is there. Part of that I think is because once Mon is deployed somewhere, it doesn't really need to be modified, it just works, so it's probably installed in a lot of places and just humming along just fine, so you don't really hear about it. Mon is under active development, heck I just checked in a bunch of patches we had been running not too long ago: http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=170ugn=montype=cvsmode=60day http://mon.cvs.sourceforge.net/mon/mon/ As you can see there is a lot of development in CVS, but there hasn't been an official release for a while; I'm sure when Jim wants to make an official release, then you'll see a lot more discussion about Mon, and maybe even some more developers. :) I thought the same way you did a few months ago, that the Mon project was dead, but it's not, it's just not very visibly alive. ;) -- Augie Schwer-[EMAIL PROTECTED]-http://schwer.us Key fingerprint = 9815 AE19 AFD1 1FE7 5DEE 2AC3 CB99 2784 27B0 C072 ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

Can we setup a cvs mailing list that gets the patches, or some type of status report summarizing changes over the last month? The wiki page looks good, btw, although it would probably be good to add something, anything, as the current events page. /Allan ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

This can be bad, I for one shy away from software that has releases and updates ever few weeks, something that doesnt get updated for a year or longer has better chance of being implimented because of what a previous poater said, you install Mon, configure Mon, start Mon, and then forget about it. The only time i've touched it in recent times is to add more machines to its watch list :) -- Cheers Res ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
