I have the following 2 (simplified) config entries.
if the file /tmp/primary exists then dbtrig will run, if I remove the file dbtrig is stopped and started every cycle. I expect dbtrig to stop and remain stopped until the file is created
check process dbtrig with pidfile "/var/run/dbtrig.pid" start program = "/opt/unb/bin/dbtrig.sh start" stop program = "/opt/unb/bin/dbtrig.sh stop" depends on database
depends on primary
check file primary with path /tmp/primary
the log output is
