Hi,

As a long time user of devmon, I'd be fascinated to see an enumeration of the bugs, features, patches etc in your repo.

One of the biggest "bugs" I've seen, and I haven't had time to chase it down is that over time devmon seems to leak memory like a sieve, becoming quite bloated.  I run a cron job to kill (yes kill -9 ) and restart it every four hours... Not under systemd.

At NLR, devmon is running on a RHEL 6.10. There is a slight memory leak, probably in xymon or devmon, which requires a restart once every 2 or 3 months. Normally, a kernel update is issued by RedHat well before the memory utilisation becomes an issue.

Regards,
  Wim Nelis.
