It doesn't seem to be working for me using monit 4.6.  Does monit have
any debug mode that can send extra info when a test fails? In this case,
send the result of the send/expect? E.g. if it sent me what it got, it
would help :)

I have done the test using netcat:

nc -vvu host 5060 < siptest

Where siptest is a file with this:

OPTIONS sip:address@hidden SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.0.1
From: <sip:address@hidden>;tag=55a66b
To: sip:somehost
Call-ID: address@hidden
CSeq: 1 OPTIONS

The values don't seem to be too important, but it is important to have a
valid SIP message otherwise you will get no response.

The response I get with nc is:

SIP/2.0 404 Not Found
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.0.1
From: <sip:address@hidden>;tag=55a66b
To: sip:somehost;tag=as34da63cb
Call-ID: address@hidden
CSeq: 1 OPTIONS
User-Agent: Asterisk PBX
Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER
Contact: <sip:192.168.0.7>
Accept: application/sdp
Content-Length: 0

So my monit test is:

        if failed port 5060 type udp
                send "OPTIONS sip:address@hidden SIP/2.0\r\nVia:
SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.0.1\r\nFrom: <sip:address@hidden>;tag=55a66b\r\nTo:
sip:somehost\r\nCall-ID: address@hidden: 1 OPTIONS"
                expect "SIP/2.0 404 Not Found*"
                with timeout 2 seconds
                then alert

I have also tried:

                expect "SIP/2.0 404 Not Found"

I am a beginner with unix (debian), so it is probably beyond me at the
moment to get the latest code from cvs and build it etc.
