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 to 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.

A crash in logging introduced in 4.8 for Opteron based platforms was fixed.
This release will not exit if there is no space on the filesystem where the monit state file is stored.
The false warning when using the TOTALMEMORY statement on Linux has been removed.
