RE: monit 4.7 and check file existence - patch

[P Holdaway]

Seems very nice now :-)

FYI, I use a file's timestamp as a watchdog timer reset.

Processes that I have under the control of monit regularly update the
timestamp on these files and hence "hung" processes are easily detected and
restarted by monit.

For example...
####################################

check file AppManager_restart with path "/var/lxs/run/AppManager.monit"
        if timestamp > 2 minutes for then exec "/opt/lxs/bin/lxs.sh stop
AppManager"
        depends on AppManager
        group lxs

check process AppManager with pidfile "/var/lxs/run/AppManager.pid"
        start program = "/opt/lxs/bin/lxs.sh start AppManager"
        stop  program = "/opt/lxs/bin/lxs.sh stop AppManager"
        if memory > 200 MB for 5 cycles then restart
        group lxs

####################################

Thanks for the very prompt fix.

Cheers,

  Peter
