Re: is monit just a pain in the arse or what ?

Apparently not, since I have a cluster of machines in denver which  
are all maintenance free because of monit, and I'm running rails.

Only after someone who was _very_ polite didn't spank you and kindly  
asked you to do so

They can fire you, you can't fire them - you didn't pay and it's  
their mailing list.

Really, I'm quite tolerant on mailing lists because I know people  
tend to "read the worst" into email, but your post was disrespectful  
and you deserve much more abuse than you got.

Remember that in many circumstances, good suggestions (like the one  
about clarifying the warnings for bad pid paths) can be lost if you  
deliver them with language designed to antagonize.

good luck,
