Bruno,

As a long time user of devmon, I'd be fascinated to see an enumeration 
of the bugs, features, patches etc in your repo.

One of the biggest "bugs" I've seen, and I haven't had time to chase it 
down is that over time devmon seems to leak memory like a sieve, 
becoming quite bloated.  I run a cron job to kill (yes kill -9 ) and 
restart it every four hours... Not under systemd.

Personally, I'll avoid systemd like the plague, however I'd think those 
modifications should be called out and isolated as well... Especially 
considering devmon normally runs as a perl based daemon... At least on 
my Scientific linux 6.10 system.
