Re: minimal size (MIPS platform)

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

as described in the mentioned FAQ point, the information is related to 
the stripped binary size - this is not related to process size, which 
depends also on the monit configuration (how many services are 
monitored, etc.)

The information was added to the FAQ in may 2004 and was not updated 
since that => it is related to monit release 4.3.

Since monit 4.3 many new features were added and the binary size grew.
