Re: Suggestion: extensions to monit-generated HTML

[Tatsuya Nonogaki]

Hello everyone.

I write because something Bob Williams says is releted to what I have
been thinking. Those very specific tests will grow MONIT endlessly if
implimented each time someone wants. What if MONIT can do such a test
like bellow ?;

 If Exec test_anything.sh Returns '111' Then ...

By this, administrators can tailor executables to test whatever he
needs. Won't it satisfy Bob's need for example?
