Re: Configuring a warning using a shell script

[Jason Levitt]

Hi Martin,

 There are no notices in the monit log file, and, as I mentioned, the
M/Monit console shows
that everythiing is "ok" (I guess).  If monit couldn't execute it,
wouldn't it put something in the log
file?

  Mode of the shell script is 777 and I've executed it successfully as
both a regular user and root.
  And the first line of the script is  #!/bin/bash

Jan:

  How does that affect the alerting? I've been sitting here for an
hour or more. Shouldn't
I see some warnings in M/Monit?
