Monit 4.5.1

I've uploaded my revised Monit package to the AUR.

from http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/

What monit can do - Monit can start a process if it does not run, restart a process if it does not respond and stop a process if it uses too much resources. You can use monit to monitor files, directories and devices for changes, such as timestamp changes, checksum changes or size changes. You can also monitor remote hosts; monit can ping a remote host and can check TCP/IP port connections and server protocols. Monit is controlled via an easy to use control file based on a free-format, token-oriented syntax. Monit logs to syslog or to its own log file and notifies you about error conditions and recovery status via customizable alert.

We've used it for about a year on our production server, and have been very pleased with it.  Any and all feedback appreciated.

Here is the changelog for version 4.5.1:

Version 4.5.1

NEW FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS:
*  Support for native MySQL protocol test added. The test can be
   used with unixsocket and port testing rules. Example:
    check host FOO with address db.foo.bar
     if failed port 3306 protocol mysql then alert

*  Support for DNS protocol test added. The test can be used with
   port testing rules, either tcp or udp. Example:
    check host FOO with address ns.foo.bar
     if failed port 53 type udp protocol dns then alert

*  Status summary support added.The 'monit summary' command can be
   used to obtain a quick overview of services handled by monit.
   Example output:
    The monit daemon 4.5.1 uptime: 15m
    System 'foo'                        [0.16] [0.14] [0.09]
    Process 'slapd'                     running
    File 'slapd_bin'                    accessible
    Device 'rootfs'                     accessible
    Device 'vfatfs'                     Data access error
    File 'testfile'                     not monitored
    Remote Host 'bar'                   online with all services

BUGFIXES:
*  This release fix service timeout, which was broken in 4.5. Thanks to
   Waggott Graeme <gwaggott at ndsuk!com> for reporting the problem.
