Syntax for else if

[Mehul Ved]

Hello,

  I am configuring pagerduty integration with monit and have run into a roadblock while setting it up. As per the pagerduty documentation,

- to trigger a new incident, we need to add

if does not exist for 3 cycles
        then exec "/etc/monit/pagerduty-trigger crond"

which works fine.

- to automatically mark the issue as resolved, we need to add

    else if passed for 3 cycles
        then exec "/etc/monit/pagerduty-resolve crond"

but this causes syntax error.

So, I looked up the monit documentation at https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html and it shows the following syntax:

IF <test> THEN <action> [ELSE IF SUCCEEDED THEN <action>]

and this causes validation error as well.

I went through the changelog as well as the issue list on bitbucket but failed to find any information on the same. Has anything changed? Did I miss something here?
