Re: Feature request for config file checking?

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Aherr, I guess I misunderstod.. again (I should stop writing emails
late at night).

You're idea is excellent. monit, of course, can send the SIGHUP signal
to the process upon detecting a changed configuration file. For
programs that do reload upon SIGHUP (e.g. apache) this is also a
better solution than to stop and then start the process again. I'll
try to implement this so in addition to:

if timestamp "/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf" was changed then restart

something like this statement may also be used (suggestions for how
the statement may actually look are welcome):

if timestamp "/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf" was changed 
 then send the process the SIGHUP signal
