We've been thinking about almost the same functionality for managing monit upgrades from m/monit.

M/Monit can have repository of various monit binaries (various versions and platforms) and it could be easily to centrally manage monit agents from M/Monit this way (upgrade monit with one click).

There is also security aspect of the possibility to replace the binary on server (whether monit or different application) has to be super-safe otherwise it could be security risk. It should be possible to disable it at compile time and it should be disabled by default plus good documentation and explanation of security related issues needs to be added.

If you want to work on this functionality for monit, it could be interesting :)


Thanks :)

I'm implementing a feature locally, and was wondering what the reaction would be for me to implement it in the main source.

I'm planning on using m|monit and monit as a service console for our production service. Besides just stop/start/monitor, I also want to use it to trigger updates of the running service. To do so, I plan on adding an action to monit that would let me execute a script. Note that this is not the same as execute script on alert, this is on the same level as start/stop/etc.

So, is anyone in favor of me putting it into the main source, or should I just maintain it separately?
