Thanks for the input -
Yes, we're looking to automatically reload monit's configuration if a monit configuration file changes. The idea being that various (pre-tested) applications with their own monit configurations can be added and removed automatically.
One option that we've tested is to have a separate process (or wrapper) that runs inotify on the configuration files, and sends SIGHUP to monit if a change is detected. This works, but it seems a shame to add a separate monitor for monit.
Best Regards,
Eric
