Sounds sufficient for most cases. But is this reliable?
Is there a kind of marker like 'if delta now minus 'latestCheck' is less than 
'pollIntervall' print error message/break?-)

With SuSE you usually get the results from checkproc by calling 'rcmonit 
status' or '/etc/init.d/monit status', which tells you, if monit is up and 
running.
Think I will combine both: results from checkproc and monit in init 'status'.

BTW I've just uploaded the SuSE spec an stuff to contrib/suse/ and made an 
'update -d'
doc/api-docs has vanished entirely right? And web/ replaces what doc/ was?

An other thing: I took a look at savannah download area.
"You only require to follow a standard tree organisation if you want to use 
the Savannah Filelist for your project, available once you have checked the 
correspondant box in your Project Public Info. "
If yes we need something like:
/-monit
        monit-{lateststable}.tar.gz
        monit-{lateststable}.i386.deb
        monit-{lateststable}-rh71.i386.rpm
        monit-{lateststable}-rh71.src.rpm
        monit-{lateststable}-suse73.i386.rpm
        monit-{lateststable}-suse73.src.rpm
        /monit.pkg
                /-2.4.3
                        monit-2.4.3.tar.gz
                        monit-2.4.3.i386.deb
                        monit-2.4.3-suse73.i386.rpm
                        ...
                /-2.5beta1
                        monit-2.5beta1.tar.gz
                        ...
                /-2.5.0
                        monit-2.5.0.tar.gz
                        monit-2.5.0.i386.deb
                        monit-2.5.0.whatever.i386.rpm
                        ...
etc.

And to quote the FAQ again:
"You can add a anchor as #packageversion in the link to your filelist to point 
to a particular version. For example, 
http://savannah.gnu.org/files/?group_id=533#sgml2x0.99.7 will point to the 
version 0.99.7 of the package sgml2x. 
You can add a variable as &highlight=version in the link to your filelist to 
highlight a particular version. For example, 
http://savannah.gnu.org/files/?group_id=1388&highlight=1.0.2 will hightlight 
the version 1.0.2. 

That way, we can upload any tarball - with or without corresponding rpms - and 
link to the one considered the latest stable.

Wop?
Leppo.
