Re: Feature Request: check on readonly filesystem

[Martin Pala]

I think it could be possible (it should be sufficient to check just 
mount flags of the filesystem for change). It will be needed to use 
statvfs call instead of statfs on some platforms ...

We can add it to the wishlist of other developers will agree

P.S. upcomming monit version (currently in cvs) supports the regex based 
content check for files, thus you can use it as native logcheck
