Re: Syntax for else if

[Martin Pala]

The following test configuration file works fine (tested with monit 5.18):

--8<--
set daemon 5

set httpd port 2812 allow localhost

check process "httpd" matching "httpd"
  if does not exist for 3 cycles
        then exec "/etc/monit/pagerduty-trigger crond"
  else if passed for 3 cycles
        then exec "/etc/monit/pagerduty-resolve crond"
--8<--

Which monit version do you use? (monit -V)

Best regards,
Martin
