In spite of the Orwellian title, this is about monitoring the Subversion revision control system using Monit on a Linux server. I recently set up Monit to monitor services running a server. It's pretty neat - you can tell it what services to listen to, how to decide if they are responsive, and what to do in the event that they're not. I found a bunch of simple config scripts for most of the services I wanted to monitor on their wiki, but couldn't find a cut-and-paste solution for monitoring Subversion, so I wrote my own.
