Re: FreeBSD and monit status

[rory]

I found the problem. I use /etc/monitrc and it's not finding it. So, I was
starting thr monit daemon with -c, and if you do that, the monit client
also needs -c. I'll need to go fix that, as we should be picking up
monitrc in /etc.
So, in short, the FreeBSD proc stuff and web interface works.
