Re: [monit] Executing a if statement based on another process

[Martin Pala]

You can for example suspend the mythtv monitoring before starting the 
mythfilldatabase this way:

  monit unmonitor mythtv

and after mythfilldatabase finished, you can run:


  monit monitor mythtv

which will enable the monitoring again.


The above commands can be added to the script which starts/stops the 
mythfilldatabase.


If you want to keep monitoring the mythtv when mythfilldatabase. is 
running and suspend just the port monitoring, you can move the 'if 
failed port' statement to standalone service check like for example this:

  check host mythtv_6544 with address 127.0.0.1
    if failed port 6544 proto http then restart
    depends on mythtv

and use the above trick to suspend monitoring of this service while 
mythfilldatabase is running.
