Thats a very generic question, so I'll give a very generic answer: Find or write a monitor script to test the process. For example, http.monitor can be used to make an HTTP request to a web server and verify it its running and serving pages. Or dns.monitor can be use to send DNS queries to a name server, etc. If the process you care about doesn't provide some remotely testable service, then you need an agent of some form running on the remote machine that can tell you the process is running. The process.monitor script expects the remote machine to be running the snmp agent from the Net-SNMP package, formerly known as UCD-SNMP. If you have that agent installed, or can install it, edit the config file for the agent and enable the process monitoring functionality. Then process.monitor will be able to report whether snmpd is reporting any failures on the remote machine. (Alternatively you could write a monitor script which logged into the remote machine and ran a program to test a local service, but I've never taken that approach myself.) -David Nolan Network Software Designer Computing Services Carnegie Mellon University ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

Thanks for everybody's help so far...
It has been mentioned that the -P and -C switches are no longer
supported/used in mon-0.99.2
