Re: [monit] File check with execution of a script

[Martin Pala]

The file existence test is implicit - you can use just:

--8<--
check file filename with path /home/user/x
        start program = "xyz.sh start"
       stop program = "xyz.sh stop"
--8<--

... it will check for file existence and if it doesn't exist, the  
start script will be called
