The mon command is a system monitoring program designed to watch and report on various aspects of a Linux system's health and performance. It is not a standard Linux utility and is not typically found in default installations of distributions. Therefore, its precise functionality, available parameters, and even its existence are highly dependent on the specific software package or custom setup where it is employed.

In general, mon is used to check services, network connections, disk space, CPU usage, memory usage and other critical system components. If mon detects a problem (e.g., a service is down, disk space is low), it can take actions such as sending alerts (via email or SMS), restarting services, or running custom scripts.

Due to its non-standard nature, comprehensive documentation and readily available usage examples are usually specific to the software implementation where it is included. Without a specific implementation of mon, only a general overview can be provided.

mon is not a standard Linux command. Its availability and functionality are highly dependent on specific monitoring solutions or custom scripts. Documentation is implementation-specific and must be consulted for accurate usage details.

Most mon implementations rely on a configuration file to define the parameters, systems, services, and actions to monitor. The configuration file typically uses a specific syntax, such as YAML or a custom format. Refer to the implementation's documentation for details.

A core function of mon is to generate alerts when issues are detected. Alerting methods may include email, SMS, syslog, or integration with other monitoring platforms. The alert configuration is defined in the configuration file.
