The reason I suggested the above check is that it appears to parse content out of a web page. This could be configured to look for a text string that only appears when BackupPC is running. Monit is capable of just doing a simple test to see if a webserver is listening or even if just a TCP port is listening, but this test is more involved than those. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
