I did some extra changes in the code and I believe send/expect will  
work well with UDP sockets now. The ultimate test was to test a quake  
server :) and it seems to work fine.

This is the check-entry I used in monitrc. I just found a quake  
server and it may be down if you do this test. In that case just find  
another one here: http://www.gameaholic.com/servers/quake3/

check host quake3 with address 212.159.6.211
      if failed port 27980 type udp
         send "\xff\xff\xff\xffgetstatus"
         expect "sv_floodProtect|sv_maxPing"
         send "\xff\xff\xff\xffgetinfo"
         expect "punkbuster"
      then alert

Running monit in the console using "monit -v validate" show this  
successful output

Let me know if you still have problems with UDP send/expect tests.  
Check out the latest CVS by doing this in the console:

export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/monit co monit
./autogen.sh && make && make install
