plugmon is a basic system monitoring utility with minimal configuration requirements.

Filesystems, kernel messages, and daemons are monitored from a standalone binary that only requires an email address as configuration.

Usage:

Install plugmon program.
Call "plugmon --mailto my.mail@address" from an rc script.
Or call it from a cronjob. Plugmon will check if its already running.

Requirements:
jelio

What's New in This Release:
plugmon is no longer confused by RPC programs (such as nfsd).
Configuration changes now work retroactively.
Event timeouts now work correctly.
