Monit is an open-source utility for monitoring and managing processes, files, and directories on Unix and Linux operating systems. However, you can also use it on Windows 10. Here are the steps to install Monit from http://mmonit.com/monit/#home on Windows 10.
Before installing Monit, you need to have the following:
Download the Monit ZIP package from http://mmonit.com/monit/#download.
Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a directory on your computer, such as C:\Monit.
Open the command prompt or Powershell as an administrator.
Navigate to the directory where you extracted the Monit ZIP file, for example:
cd C:\Monit
Run the following command to install Monit as a Windows service:
monit.exe -c monitrc install
This command installs Monit as a Windows service and uses the configuration file monitrc located in the same directory.
Start the Monit service by running the following command:
net start monit
This command starts the Monit service, which will run in the background and monitor the specified processes, files, and directories.
Verify that the Monit service is running by opening the Services app from the Start menu or by running the following command:
net start
You should see the Monit service listed in the output.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Monit on Windows 10. You can now configure Monit to monitor your processes, files, and directories by editing the monitrc configuration file located in the directory where you extracted the Monit ZIP file.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
