Hello,

I created a repo with "devmon" github/bonomani and included all
patches/contrib and resolved all bugs I can. (I try to integrate all
patches, bugs and features from SF) see the REAMDE for details

This is not an official update of current "devmon" but I have
difficulties to have an answer on current sourceforge repo, so I decided
to publish what I have done. (I did not have any answer on my patches
after myn years!?)

As i am working on Centos, there are some specific things for systemd.

I trying also to contact devmon admins to merge this work or part of
it,  so if you have a clue...

If you want to test this work, you should simply take the files in the
"modules" dir and it should work...with your current installation

And of course any suggestions are welcome!

Bruno

Bruno,

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.

Personally, I'll avoid systemd like the plague, however I'd think those modifications should be called out and isolated as well... Especially considering devmon normally runs as a perl based daemon... At least on my Scientific linux 6.10 system.
