I agree, more tips & trics and showoff of monit would be good. I'm
cleaning it up right now, and I will check it in later this evening.
Please, check it out afterwards and add new stuff or suggest stuff and
I can add it.

Sure, but I'm not sure how you can implement it, since a checksum,
depending on context, should 1) only send an alert and keep on
monitoring or 2) not monitor anymore. I strongly think the current
behavior, that is 1) is the best solution. But if you somehow manage
to iron this out better it would be interesting to see how :)

Well, we could release a beta this week (when the doc. is ready) to
the monit-general list¹ and if all goes well release monit 4.0 next
week?


¹Previous beta releases to monit-general was not a sucess (0 user
downloads), but we could try again.
