//  This is the class for perfoming the monitoring process.                  //
//  It checks if a raw data file exists, loops over the events in the raw    //
//  data file, reconstructs TPC and ITS clusters and tracks, fills the       //
//  monitor histograms and sends the updated histograms to the clients.      //
//  Then the raw data file is deleted and it waits for a new file.           //
//                                                                           //
