RE: [monit] Can I use monit to monitor file/directory removal?

[cuongnm]

Dear Dave,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. My problem is that i am not very 
familiar with the Linux distribution installed on my server so i don’t know how 
to find the process which somehow deletes the directory needed by proftpd 
service.

Any other thought?

your file system?
