Re: Another feature

Hi,

you can use exec action instead of alert:

check device root with path /
     if space usage > 89% then exec "/root/Scripts/alert.sh" else if succeeded 
then exec "/root/Scripts/alert.sh"

Upcoming M/Monit-2.3 also allows to set rules for events which allow to execute 
custom program (in addition to email and instant message). We use it to collect 
events from all monit hosts and pass the event to text-to-speach program so we 
can hear what happened if event arrives (in practice it is pretty cool :), it 
is also possible to execute snmptrap, etc.
