Hi all

I've been looking for a program to restart apache, postfix and my other server 
daemons when they stop/crash, but couldn't find a good one. I've read the 
sourcecode for sysutils/monit and sysutils/monitord but they seem to 
need /proc and insist on poll instead of using kqueue(2) and kevent(2). So 
before I start coding my own, can someone recommend a port or tell me why 
kevent(2) shouldn't be used for this?

Best regards
