Tout d'abord, vous devez exécuter make install en utilisant sudo afin de l'installer, donc :
sudo make install
Ensuite, vous avez besoin d'un script dans /etc/init.d qui démarre le service. Monit est livré avec un script générique dans le répertoire source appelé contrib/rc.monit. Voici celui qui est fourni avec le paquet debian wheezy monit (certains chemins peuvent être différents d'une version compilée en source et celui de debian a quelques "fonctionnalités" supplémentaires que vous pourriez intégrer).

# Short-Description: service and resource monitoring daemon
# Description: monit is a utility for managing and monitoring
# processes, programs, files, directories and filesystems
# on a Unix system. Monit conducts automatic maintenance
# and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions
# in error situations.

Copiez-le dans un fichier appelé /etc/init.d/monit et rendez ce fichier exécutable.
Vous devez également créer le fichier /etc/default/monit avec les éléments suivants :
# /etc/default/monit
# Defaults for monit initscript. This file is sourced by
# /bin/sh from /etc/init.d/monit.
# You must set this variable to yes for monit to start
START=yes
# Options to pass to monit
#MONIT_OPTS=
Vous devriez alors être en mesure de le démarrer avec la commande que vous avez exécutée :
sudo service monit start
Pour qu'il démarre automatiquement au démarrage, exécutez ce qui suit pour que Debian l'insère au bon endroit dans les services de démarrage.
insserv monit
