Re: [monit] Exec does not seem to run shell script

[CHRISTOPHER HOEY]

No luck using a simpler script. Any more suggestions? Is there any
other way to try and see if exec runs?
This is monit version 4.9

<my new simple test.sh script>
#!/bin/sh
touch /test/test.txt
</my new simple test.sh script>

Even changing exec to call touch directly does not work.

<modified monit.rc section>
check process apache with pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid
   group www-data
   start program = "/usr/sbin/apachectl -k start"
   stop  program = "/usr/sbin/apachectl -k stop"
   if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 80 then exec "/bin/touch /test/test.txt"
</modified monit.rc section>
