It can be very important for a setup that the VSCP daemon is running all the time. If it dies, critical functionality may not work anymore. Luckily there are tools to help. I have found m/monit to be very useful for this.
The setup is simple and instead of me repeating it here you can follow excellent this guide.
When things work add the following lines to the m/monit configuration file (/etc/monit/monitrc)
check process vscpd with pidfile /var/run/vscpd/vscpd.pid
start program = “/etc/init.d/vscpd start”
stop program = “/etc/init.d/vscpd stop”
if failed
host demo.vscp.org
port 8080
protocol http
request “/vscp/index.html”
then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
and you will be fully covered. m/monit will detect when the daemon goes down and then restart it and, if you set up your mail, alert you in a mail that this has been done.
VSCP & Friends 1.12.4 Magnesium has been released.
This is the last version that will be released on the Windows platform. Future releases will only target Linux/Unix. Windows will still be usable as a client using available web interfaces and web applications.
Source and setup files can be downloaded from Sourceforge.
Release notes can be found on Github.

Ending Windows support for the #VSCP daemon?
VSCP & Friends has been available on the Windows platform since the beginning of time. But nowadays most of our users is on Linux/Unix, using PC’s or devices like Raspberry Pi. Well we been there also since the beginning of time but now it’s maybe time to concentrate and put all our efforts on these important platforms. With Linux support on Windows this may not be giving up Windows after all.
But,
maybe there are reasons why we should not do this. Reasons we did not think of ourselves. If you think there are, speak out now. It’s still time to rethink this. And we listen to our users. Always.

Demo server is here http://demo.vscp.org:8080/index.html Please note! This is a development server that runs head code and it may not be stable all the time. Many users and developers runs (sometime) strange and buggy code against this server. Please download the stable version of VSCP & Friends and set up your own system if you need a stable system.
Special thanks to Andreas Merkle for doing work on this system.
