Pro tip: When you’re trying to figure out whether your monit config file
will wreck your monitoring service or not, your best friend is monit -t.
Copy your existing config into your home directory, make any changes, and
run something like monit -c yourfile -t and it will check the grammar for
correctness, and all the programs you call for existence and ownership. It
will even warn you if the file’s permissions are wrong! Made deploying
monitoring scripts much less scary.
