Re: inverse monitoring

[Martin Pala]

Monit supports actions for both - failure and recovery. The implicit 
recovery action is to send email, but in general you can use any other 
monit action as well.

See manual for more details - full syntax:

IF <TEST>
  [[<X>] [TIMES WITHIN] <Y> CYCLES] THEN ACTION
[ELSE IF PASSED
  [[<X>] [TIMES WITHIN] <Y> CYCLES] THEN ACTION]


You can use the 'else if passed ...' part to do what you you want.
