I wasn't on the mon@ list until recently; it doesn't show up on the SF.net page: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=170 shoot. i used to have a script which would push out any releases or web page changes to the various places automatically, but since we have the wiki i didn't bother with it. i guess i'll need to do some housecleaning and make everything refer to the wiki for information so i don't need to maintain stuff in a million places. the wiki i like alot, and it makes it much easier to allow others to participate. to anyone who spends time editing wikis, i recommend these firefox/mozilla extensions, which allow you to edit the TEXTAREA in your editor of choice, and when you save it's automatically updated in the form: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125 and http://mozex.mozdev.org/ the inherent editing features most browsers supply are crippling, if anyone's noticed. a historical tidbit: the reason why mon has a sourceforge entry in the first place is because before sf.net even went public, they seeded it with various projects, and mon was part of the first sowing. it wasn't even my idea :) Any chance the freshmeat page will get updated to reflect the new release: http://freshmeat.net/projects/mon/ ah, good catch. i'll update that and make it refer to the right place. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

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

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

I don't want to step on any toes, but I was wondering . . . if I were to add a user documentation section parallel to the man pages and readme, would that be approved of? Would others look at it, add to it, correct I can't see why not, anything that benefits everybody surely must be welcome.
