Re: New feature I need

[Martin Pala]

I think it could be done by extending present features (dependency 
stuff) + new support for device/directory/file services.

Example "virtual" configuration:

#  check process foo with pidfile /var/run/foo.pid
#    start program = "/etc/init.d/foo start"
#    stop program  = "/etc/init.d/foo stop"s
#    alert address@hidden
#    depends on bar
#
#  check file bar with path /var/run/bar
#

I think it is possible to let it work so, that if 'bar' test will be 
succesfull, it will start dependants. File/directory/device stuff isn't 
yet completed, but the core functionality of it is working well.
