Re: [monit] have monit send to local mail spool?

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

you can use for example the "exec" action to post the mail to the queue 
directly, something like this:

  check host myhost ...
    if failed port 8000 then exec "/bin/mail -s alert address@hidden"

You can use your custom script to perform whatever action you want - 
monit sets the environment variables which describe what happened and 
can be used for custom action. See monit manual for details.
