Re: [monit] Resetting Checksums

[Art Age Software]

An update... It is worse than I thought. 'unmonitor/monitor' does not
work at all for this case. Once monit cycled out of 'initializing'
state, I received the following two alerts:

'file' permission test failed for /etc/file -- current permission is 0000
'file' checksum test failed for /etc/file

and monit unmonitored the files (and all objects with dependencies on
those files).
