god - process and task monitoring done right. I have a long running animosity towards every process monitoring tool currently in existence; I’ll have to put this one through its paces and see if it sucks less.

"every process monitoring tool"? Have you tried supervisor? A guy at my python interest group (yea BayPiggies) mentioned using supervisor as a result of a presentation at PyCON and I'm planning on using it to manage fastcgi processes...
Any negative feedback I should know about? The url is http://supervisord.org/ if you haven't heard of it... Written in python and includes an interactive shell, web interface, and some other goodies.

We use supervisor quite happily. Never got monit working right. That said, supervisor isn't a monitor exactly, it's a process manager, ala daemontools or rc scripts (though more reliable than your typical rc script).
It includes one monitoring tool in contrib (for memory usage, I think); others could be written (e.g., HTTP aliveness), but haven't yet.
