Re: restart process only if it isn't running 2 cycles in a row?

[Martin Pala]

With monit 5.2.1 you can use this:

check process myapp ...
   if does not exist for 2 cycles then restart

(default is restart on 1st error)

When you installing new version of monitored appplication, it is better to 
disable its monitoring before you stop it:

monit unmonitor myapp

and as soon as upgrade is finished:

monit monitor myapp
