Re: [monit] Monitor mounts with monit

[Roman]

I can read Eric.

I tried the automount and haven't any success. I solved the issue with
monit in the end with this:

check file OnExternalDrive with path /data/usb/monit/file
    start = "/bin/mount /dev/sdd1"
    stop = "/bin/umount /dev/sdd1"
    if failed checksum then start

may be it will be useful for someone else.
