Does this mean that you actually have monit working on a win32  
platform with cygwin!? Can monit start, stop and restart programs?  
Can you signal monit, i.e. do a monit quit and monit restart and  
finally, does monit's http server run?

It's been a long time since I used a win platform, but I seem to  
recall that win32 uses services and runs them in separate threads,  
which is different from monits concepts of process ids and pid files.  
I.e. I cannot see how monit can be used standalone on a win32  
platform outside of a cygwin environment? More the kudos to you if  
you can prove me wrong :)

You should join the monit developer list and send your changes there  
as a patch if you get it to work. Please discuss implementation  
details and choices you made if you submit a patch.
