Ok, well I've created a github project which has my scripts for 
chef-server and opendap server;
https://github.com/tolland/monit-shared

if you want to see a lot of alerts about things you don't have 
installed, then you can install the scripts like so;

sudo git clone git://github.com/tolland/monit-shared.git /usr/share/monit-shared
sudo ln -s /usr/share/monit/monit.d/* /etc/monit.d/

monit -t
service monit restart


I'd be interested in suggestions and versions for tomcat6, httpd, and 
some basic filesystem stuff from the experts etc...

Cheers,
Tom
