Re: Question about script alert description

[Bryan Harris]

Ah I see, this is another artifact from us having an old-ish version of Monit.  Where I work we can only use EPEL from RHEL 6 and the guy who maintains Monit for EPEL is very busy lately and had no time to update to the latest.  He was also worried about backwards compatibility.  If I had any idea how to be an EPEL maintainer I could try and help but it looked very confusing to me (compared to slackware, which is easy enough for me to handle).  I will probably leave it alone for now, and store it away in the back of my head that a future update might make the output I'm seeing more pleasant for me.

Thanks for your help.

V/r,

Bryan

The status succeeded message didn't contain the program name - only the status failure event.

We have simplified the messages in the next monit release: https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/commits/c8db8020a5e177a9552e92af015056fc162a4268?at=master
