Hi,

the syntax as described on the roadmap is not stone carved, but i think the idea was to recognize either pass or error.

The script should be responsible for returning the error code to monit - its output is not analyzed in monit, but just used as the error description (for example in alert message, logs, etc.)

Thus for example it can be used this way:

check_lpc script:
--8<--
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/lpc status | /usr/bin/awk '/disabled/ {print $0; exit 1}';
--8<--

monit integration:
--8<--
check status lpc with path "/path/to/check_lpc"
 if failed then alert
--8<--

Hi Martin

As example:

 CHECK STATUS OF printers WITH PATH "//usr/bin/lpc status"
  IF MATCH "disabled" THEN ALERT
May this is possible with the new feature?

Best regards
Andre

to execute a script, accept the script's return value (either stdout

possible example:

check counter widgets from "/opt/local/bin/getwidgetcount.sh"
  if widgets < 0 then alert
  if widgets > 1000 then alert
