Start the server with ./fofserver start first to activate monitor.

./fofserver restart simply runs ./fofserver stop then ./fofserver start

I will be adding clarification in the monitor.

I am going to add an informational details so users know how to activate the monitor.

oh ok,
I knew what ./fofserver restart did, and I've used monitor before, but idk what is going on since for some reason it started giving me the lock file error.

My cronjob is working I found out since I put it to email me as it works, but the email contains:
[K[ [0;36m INFO [0;39m] Monitoring fof-server: No lock file found: Monitor disabled

I missed something right?

start the server with
./fofserver start
then try
./fofserver monitor
the monitor will then be activated
