Re: Optionally monitoring, depending on local config?

        That's an option I considered, but I manage around 150 machines
and I'd like to just push out monit (with a standard config file) onto
them without having to configure each machine individually.  I do nightly
automated updates on the machines, so it'd be trivial to turn on monit
on all of them at once if I could come up with a general-purpose
configuration file.

        Another option would be to write a script that creates a 
tailored monitrc for each node.  That's probably the route I'll go
if I decide to pursue monit (and if there's no way to write a 
general-purpose monitrc file).

                                                Thanks,
                                                Bryan
