sorry the db is MySQLand i am trying to read  the difference between the last 
written record and the current time.if its been 12 hours already. it should 
send an alert via monit.
problem is i am not really sure how to grep or an sql result that has different 
values (not just 1 or 0)
if status != 0 then alert   -- should i still use status?  
sorry im completely new to monit.

Build a shell script that:1. will issue the command to your server (you did not 
say what kind of sql server you have)2. will parse the result from the server 
using for example grep and regex3. If the result is unexpected use 'exit 1' 
4. Set in monit as Martin said

sql statement is supposed to evaluate if the result is >= to 12 , if true then 
alert. 
 how do i put that in place of " PROCESS OUTPUT AND RETURN 1 IF FAILED 
OTHERWISE 0" ??

thanks

Hello,
you can use the "check program" to test the exit value of custom script. In 
this case the script can execute the SQL statement and return error if problem 
is found.

Script skeleton:--8<--#!/bin/bash/ur/bin/mysql -e "SQL STATEMENT" ... | PROCESS 
OUTPUT AND RETURN 1 IF FAILED OTHERWISE 0--8<--

Connection of the script with monit:--8<-- check program myscript with path 
"/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh"       if status != 0 then alert--8<--

Regards,Martin
