Hi Martin,
Thanks for the input. This indeed is listing a total of 7 matches. Any idea how to force a action of any of the 7 have a problem?
Any thoughts about option 1? How to fix the ‘recurring action’?

You can test the pattern using:
monit procmatch "chrome"
Regards,
Martin

I’m looking for the best practice to monitor the health of Google Chrome.
Am I right to understand that Chrome doesn’t have a PID file?
I’ve tried the following 2 techniques:
1.
check program chrome with path /usr/bin/google-chrome
if status!=0 then exec “/usr/bin/pkill chrome”
(I have a script that auto reboots chrome with the correct settings when I kill chrome).
This is sort of working when I simulate a crash (type in chrome://crash in browser). The problem is that it keeps killing chrome every time monit runs.
I think it doesn’t reset the last exit value? When I type ‘monit status’ it keeps saying ‘last exit value = 1’. How do I fix this?
Also I keep getting errors in M/Monit ‘cannot open display’. I think this is because monit keeps trying to reopen chrome by itself. I thought I could fix this by adding ‘mode passive’ but this doesn’t seem to be allowed here because I get a syntax error.
2.
check process chrome matching “chrome”
The problem with this version is that nothing happens when I manually crash chrome. It keeps saying ‘status = Running’.
Hope someone can help me. I’m basically looking for the best technique to catch all possible issues with chrome. Thanks!
