Re: monitor multiple instances of the same script

[Jose Castro]

Thanks for the help.  I was also looking at something called
supervisord. It seems to be a better match for what I want.  You
specify the command and how many instances.  I thought monit will do
this, but I guess it is more suited to monitor processes that run as
one instance.

Thank you
