conditional service start or stop

[Lawrence, Wayne]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there was a way to configure monit to start a different service based on a failure event.

 

I have 2 configs for httpd on my server one for the website and one for maintenance.

 

If the main website configuration failed to restart for example 3 times in 5 cycles I would like to stop the services that are connected to it and bring up the maintenance configuration instead. Ideally i would like to stop a group of services as defined in the monitrc and start another.

 

I know you can do exec statements the achieve this but was wondering if calling monit commands from within the monitrc would be problematic or if it there was a simple way within moint to achieve this.

 

Regards
