+<code bash>aptitude install monit</code>
-If libconfig is missing, please configure (./configure) it, compile (make) it from the libconfig (1.4b4) folder then check (make check) it and then install it (sudo make install). Finally you may have to call ldconfig alone or /usr/bin/ldconfig -l /usr/local/lib/libconfig.so.9
+Add configuration in /etc/monit/conf.d/acdsn
+<code bash>
+check process acdsn with pidfile /var/run/acdsn.pid
+start program = "/etc/init.d/acdsn start" with timeout 60 seconds
+stop program  = "/etc/init.d/acdsn stop"
