Re: Program for restarting stopped/crashed daemons

Hi all

I've been looking for a program to restart apache, postfix and my other server daemons when they stop/crash, but couldn't find a good one. I've read the sourcecode for sysutils/monit and sysutils/monitord but they seem to need /proc and insist on poll instead of using kqueue(2) and kevent(2). So before I start coding my own, can someone recommend a port or tell me why kevent(2) shouldn't be used for this? 

And what is exactly wrong with /proc running?

I have had procfs turned off, but our content management application does need to have access to /proc, because in its management of processess (fastcgi app with custom management of cron processes of its own) it have not been able to manage them without it. We used alternative like p5-Proc-ProcessTable, but it did sometimes render our system unusable, userland unresponsive (although kernel was okey).

Cheers,
Martin
