I've discovered "monit" more than one year ago.
I've been seduced when I read "Monit can start a process if it does not run, restart a process if it does not respond and stop a process if it uses to much resources.". Yes, that's right! Why other admin tools are only able to send alert messages, when the problem's solution is often a one-line shell command?

But..... "monit" has to be installed directly on the server it has to manage, and there was no way to manage multiple monit instances. Yes, "m/monit" was once operational (some screenshots are available), and a new version is announced, but as of today (07-12-2007) I can still read "Scheduled to be released in Q2 2007 or slightly before Duke Nukem Forever hits the shelves.". No comment :-(

After month waiting for this new "m/monit" version, I thought that the development team was too busy, so I decided to write my own version, inspired by published screenshots.

Today I'm proud to announce an alpha version, that can be showed to a limited public : developers (it's too early to let end-users play with it).

It is fully written in PHP (about 900 lines) + MySQL (4 tables) + Smarty (more than 480 .tpl lines, including more than 170 smarty directives lines).

First (ugly) screens can be seen there.

I've only allowed "user view" screens with this login, but some screenshots of the "admin part" are available (see the mumo project's screenshots section in SourceForge.net).
