Re: [monit] noob question

Thank you Eric,  so if I put together what you suggest together with what Philippe presented then I get the following

check process pppd with pidfile /var/run/ppp0.pid
start program = "/usr/bin/pon dsl-provider"
stop  program = "/usr/bin/poff dsl-provider"
if failed host www.google.com port 80 protocol http and request "/" for 2 cycles
    then exec "/usr/bin/killall pppd"


Is that right or would this just kill a stalled program?   What I am asking is would it then start again?  (sorry to be so basic but I am on a learning curve here)

(if deleting of pid file is sufficient to let the pppd daemon suiciding...
if not, prefere a "/usr/bin/killall pppd" )
