[Kirill Korotaev]

Steven,

I've put monbean util at http://download.openvz.org/contrib/utils/monbean/
Feel free to send updates when needed.
Upload access can be granted in the future as well.

Thanks a lot!
Kirill

> ones hold in memory. If they differ, an alert will be sent to one or more
> recipients.

> The script will be now located at a temporary location until someone
