Re: [PATCH] Running an external script with EXEC on a timeout

[Patrick Burns]

That's a good system. I considered something similar myself at first,
I.e. writing some sort of count to a file at every restart and
periodically checking/clearing it. However it's obviously much better to
have this functionality built-in to monit. Is there any way we can put
this patch up for argument on the developer's list? I'd definitely like
to see something similar in the CVS.

Perhaps I should make a diff against the development version (rather
than stable.) It would also be good to get some people testing this to
make sure it works properly.
