+## Monitor For Common Problems
+
+For some reason the Pine64 and SOPine can have problems with "clock jumps" (ie. jumping forward 95 years) due to kernel bugs. They can also have major IO stalls when writing heavily to micro-sd cards, so much so the board becomes basically non-responsive for many minutes (upwards of 10).
+
+The below Monit configuration and setup will monitor for both events and reboot the board in the event either happens. Currently this seems to be the least-worst option for recovery.
+
+### Monit Install / Initial Config
+
+``` bash
+
+apt install monit
+nano -w /etc/monit/monitrc
+    set mail-format { from: user@domain.tld }
+    set alert admin@domain.tld
+    set mailserver mail.domain.tld port 587
+               username "user@domain.tld" password "apassword"
+               using tls
+    set httpd port 2812 and
+        allow admin:apassword
+        allow guest:guest readonly
+        #with ssl {            # enable SSL/TLS and set path to server certificate
+        #    pemfile: /etc/ssl/certs/monit.pem
+        #}
+
+```
