Maybe one should use another server monitoring software ;.)

At my company we are using mon, a fantastic peace of software to monitor more than fifty devices.

Mon is a perl script (sic!) and the last time I bootet the server was January 1 this year, because we had to take away the power of the whole server room. Before that the server was running for more than 400 days and mon.pl is only being restartet when there are any config changes - I think I should even be able to reload the config with a SIG HUP, but didn't test it already.

The server is running SuSE Linux 8.0 with a 2.4 kernel.

Therefore I do not see any reason to restart a good written piece of perl daemon software just to avoid any potential trouble!

Cheers Roland
