Re: Urgent Feature Request: Can we have a monit client for coffee machines, please?

[Martin Pala]

Sounds like useful feature :)

If the coffee machine is connected to the network, you can use generic tcp 
connect test (if failed port <number> then ...) to check whether it hung - if 
it can provide some informations too, i can implement new protocol test which 
will check the status.
