[monit] feature request, supperted devices in /dev/disk/by-*

[Aleksander Kamenik]

Hi,

I've got servers which after each boot get a different drive name from 
the /dev/sd[a-z] pool assigned.

The solution to this is to use for example 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/484a2f10-2f70-46b5-b235-f63d55b5ccef instead of 
/dev/sdX. This is what is used in /etc/fstab to correctly mount the 
partitions.

However monit does not support by-uuid giving an access error. The 
reason for this is, I assume, that 
/dev/disk/by-uuid/484a2f10-2f70-46b5-b235-f63d55b5ccef is a symlink 
pointing to ../../sda1 and not a real device itself.

Please support symlinks as devices. Thanks!
