I want to create a "check program" entry that will only run once when started (kind of a hybrid manual mode - in this case I am calling it "batch").
For example, would like to have something like below:
check program "do_something_important" with path "/usr/local/bin/do_something_important.py"
if status != 0 then alert
mode batch
Where clicking "start" or running "monit start do_something_important" would run the job a single time before going back to manual/unmonitored state.
Is there a way to do this currently?
The use case is I have jobs currently scheduled in cron that I would like to occasionally run when not scheduled to run (by using "monit start" or the web ui) and take advantage of the alerting functionality provided by monit/m-monit.
TIA.
