This readme serves as a quick start, please use `man monit' for documentation on the program.
man monit
This will install Monit and the man-file in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man/man1 respectively. If you want another location than /usr/local, run configure with the prefix options, like so: ./configure --prefix=
This directory contains an example Monit control file, called monitrc. Please read it and use it as a starting point when you write your own Monit control file.
Monit will probably work on most Unix systems. However, Monit is tested and known to compile and operate on: Darwin, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris.
