monit + package management systems |

hello,
I've been evaluating your monit daemon for use on my servers. it seems
to be a very good package, though I was unsure about one thing - the
interaction between monit's checksum facility and the inevitable updates
to daemons by package management systems (used by systems such as the
debian and red hat distributions).
at the moment I have a script that notifies me when updates are
available, another which performs a "dry run" installation (i.e.
simulates installation) and a third which downloads the new packages,
checks their (GPG signed) md5 checksums and installs them (or not).
ideally I'd like to add another line to this last script:
monit recalculate checksums all restart all
...or something like that. I've had a good trawl through the online
documentation and I can't tell if thie behaviour is currently supported.
clearly I could simulate it with an external script, but that's a bit
hacky! clues, directions, etc. would be much appreciated.
yours,
etienne
