Yes, offcourse.

The problem is here
I try to setup Monit step-by-step as i was described 
here -http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-monitor-and-restart-linux-unix-service.html
(just install this version - monit-5.0_beta6.tar.gz)


everything was ok . until this

Now start monit:
# init -q

or

# telinit -q

Goting such output


address@hidden etc]# init -q
init: invalid option - q
Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu
address@hidden etc]# telinit -q
telinit: invalid option - q
Usage: telinit 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu


and of course all steps after this go wrong

f.e. for this command

# tail -f /var/log/messages


output

no response from the server . i stop it manually .

Later check that my /var/log/messages file become ~16mb

so, for now Monit don't monitor, don't send any alert . and don't know what 
to do ?

try to find any solution, or may be unistall it



P.s. Unfortunately i'm not a Linux Guy, and it's my first attempt to install
any soft.

thank you
