[monit] technical difference between file and device in check statement

[Julian Thomé]

Hello,

Is there a technical difference between using "check file" and "check 
device" in the special
case that the path points to a regular file ?

for example something like this (bsp.txt is a regular file) :

check file TEXTFILE with path /home/user/bsp.txt
   start = ...
   stop = ...

check device TEXTFILE with path /home/user/bsp.txt
   start = ...
   stop = ...



Thank you in advance
 Julian Thomé
