Wow. Thank you so much for emailing me back! I didn't expect a response that quickly. In response to your reply:
I tried this in the monitrc file: "check program mri_script with path /home/twapp/scripts/mri_song_ block.php every "* 8 * * 1-5" # Check every workday between 8AM-9AM if status != 0 then alert" But when trying to start monit after editing the config file, I get this error: "/etc/monit/monitrc:13: Error: syntax error 'mri_script'" It shouldn't matter what the check name is right? If this helps, the script I am trying to monitor runs once a day and is a php script. (not sure if php makes a big difference or not) Any thoughts?
