Error: include files nested too deeply

[Charles Cooke]

Hi all,

We are using monit for some of our monitoring.  We add many files into the /etc/monit.d directory (one per service).  What we are finding is that once we reach a certain number of files we are receiving an "Error: include files are nested too deeply" message and functionality stops.

Has anyone seen this before?  Is there a workaround?  

System Details:

CentOS 5.4

Linux mybox 2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen #1 SMP Fri Feb 15 12:34:28 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

version 4.10.1
