[monit] Monit: Testing Alert path

[Dave Paper]

Greetings Monit Peeps,

I'm currently troubleshooting getting alerting via e-mail to work in  
monit, and I'm 100% sure it's the network/firewall/mailserver config  
that's the cause.

What I'm running into that's making this more difficult is that I have  
not been able to find a mechanism in Monit to trigger an alert message  
from the command line.

I'd like to be able to exercise the alert e-mail function ad hoc, not  
just when a trigger is fired off in a monit job config.

Is there  away to do this?

Thanks!
