I've had issues with devmon not updating the bb-display and everything going purple. I've had this issue since day one (which is over two years now).
I created a "devmon watchdog" script that's runs every 5 min using lynx (txt base html browser) which checks if the status of devmon (shows as dm test) on bb-monitor. If its purple then I kill the devmon process and start it up again....band-aid solution, but it does the trick.
I no script expert, but can share the bash script if you want/need.
I have made a lot of changes to the version in svn, and they have resolved the majority of the problems I have had with devmon. There has been one additional problem in one environment, but I can't pinpoint it as a bug in devmon (it looks like a bug in perl).
However, though I have asked on the devmon mailing list for others to test, I have had *no* other feedback on the changes made since January.
I am reluctant to release it as 0.3.1 final without any other feedback.
