Monit 是用于对系统中的进程、文件、目录、以及设备等进行监视和管理的工具。当你所指定的server宕机或者没有反应，monit会将该进程杀死并重启该server。并通过邮件进行通知。Monit 包含一个内嵌的 HTTP(S) Web 界面，你可以使用浏览器方便地查看 Monit 所监视的服务器。
Monit的官方网站： http://www.mmonit.com
下面将介绍monit在CentOS5.3上的安装和配置：
download：http://mmonit.com/monit/dist/monit-5.1.1.tar.gz
shell> cd monit-5.*
shell>./configure
shell>make
shell> make install
shell> rm /etc/monitrc
shell> cp monitrc /etc/
在inittab文件中添加下面这句话，使init守护monit进程！！
shell> vi /etc/inittab
mo:2345:respawn:/usr/local/bin/monit -Ic /etc/monitrc
现在安装完成了，是不是超简单！！
接下来就是配置了！！

基本的配置就是这样子，剩下的就是根据各自的实际情况进行修改！！！，配置好从浏览器登录查看下是否成功，接下来就是轻松的喝喝茶，逛逛论坛了！！ 哈哈
