I think we shall before 4.4 final release (if other developers will 
agree ;) add few features:

- make system monitoring (load average, cpu and memory usage) as new 
monit service type (i.e. like present device, process, file, directory, 
...). This will allow to add rules, use dependencies and our event 
engine (do action in the case of error condition - for example send 
alert, stop/start process, etc.) It will also simplify the data view 
(i.e. XML output will be change/consolidated). This is in progress, 
however i'm busy this week - maybe during next week will be the patch 
proposal ready.

- add 'monit summary' command to present short service state overview

- possibly add 'monit status {<service>|all}' command to allow service 
specific complete status display (in addition to present 'all' service 
status)

--

- current cvs version doesn't not show cpu wait% column for systems 
which doesn't support it (beta5 show permanent 0 on such systems)


From my point of view, final 4.4 could be ready in ca. one moth (it 
depends on all developers opinion of course :)
