Re: [monit] noob question

[Eric Pailleau]

no,

in such case do :
---8<-----------------------------------------------------------
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 restart
---8<-----------------------------------------------------------

or

---8<-----------------------------------------------------------
# check pppd
check process pppd with pidfile /var/run/ppp0.pid
 start program = "/usr/bin/pon dsl-provider"
 stop  program = "/usr/bin/poff dsl-provider"

# internet test
check host internet with address www.google.fr
    if failed icmp type echo count 5 with timeout 30 seconds
        then exec "/usr/bin/killall pppd"
---8<-----------------------------------------------------------
If pppd is killed, monit will see than ppp0.pid does not relate to a living 
process,
and will start (and not restart) the pppd.

or
---8<-----------------------------------------------------------
# check pppd
check process pppd with pidfile /var/run/ppp0.pid
 start program = "/usr/bin/pon dsl-provider"
 stop  program = "/usr/bin/poff dsl-provider"
 depends on internet

# internet test
check host internet with address www.google.fr
    if failed icmp type echo count 5 with timeout 30 seconds
        then alert

---8<-----------------------------------------------------------

2nd and 3rd can let you use 'internet' for another dependance to another monit 
definitions.
