not a chance.

just that something that is simple and works doesn't really need much 
attention.

They do have prettier lights and a better band.  However setting up  
that

kind of party is a bit more complicated than a mon party.

Thats what got me started with this project.
When I setup mon, it took me a couple of hours.
I wasted a whole day trying to get nagios to do the same thing.
mon is just simpler.

One config file to name them all,
One config file to mon them,
One config file to alert when they fail,
Multiple ways to ack them.

:-)


Heh.  I agree that mon's simplicity is a huge advantage.  I'm using  
mon to stop certain services if a network connection fails.  I do this  
by running a separate mon daemon on each machine.  I suppose you could  
set up a separate Nagios on each machine, but wow, setting it up once  
is hard enough...


Actually, we use a centralized Nagios to be sure that all our mons are  
up and running.  So there's some cooperation as well.

I've though of doing something like that to restart services when they fail.

LOL.

I won't hold that against you.

Thats the beauty of open source, there is no one way to do stuff.

They'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon, and

I asked the question to find out what the state of things were.  I
didn't want to step on any toes.

I have a revised version of mon.cgi at
http://www.cmpublishers.com/oss/

From our site
Our customized version of the web UI that ships with the mon software.
Many improvements including xhtml 1.0 output, CSS support, smaller size,
 a cleaner UI.

Our company has used the software since 2003  made numerous changes to
it for our benefit.  Over the last two months I have reviewed 
documented these changes in addition to making  documenting many more.

We now offer them back to the Open Source Community.

My changes or additions to the code are clearly marked, along with an
explanation of why I did it.  Deletions are not noted.
I don't claim to know what I'm doing or to understand what the Eight
Thing is for this software.  However What I have done works for me.
I hope you all like it.
