Alternative ways of providing Monit

[kheops2713]

It may be possible to avoid including the monit binary in the git repo:

• if the wheezy-backports version of monit (5.6) is recent enough for what we want
• by downloading the precompiled binary from the official website
• by downloading and compiling the source on the managed host, as it seems Monit's only notable dependancy is openssl

Sounds good.

Any préference? I would personally go for either the first or third one: download source and compile directly on the server, unless the version 5.6 from the backports Debian repo provides the required features (version in the stable repo is 5.4).

Backports is probably the easiest way. Let's test if that version has the missing feature. I can't remember the feature now. :( I think it was that the standard output from the script was emailed in the alert.
