Re: Running monit without http and apache

[Martin Pala]

Monit CLI uses the http to communicate with the monit daemon and get the 
data.

The only CLI command which will provide the results and doesn't require 
the http interface is 'monit validate' which runs the tests in the CLI 
process context.
