Is there anything in your global config that prevents alerts on exec? Do you get other emails from monit?
I get alerts every time monit performs any action, as is the default according to my reading of the man page: http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#alert_messages For example: SET ALERT [email protected] NOT exec Would stop [email protected] from getting exec alerts. Likewise a similar local alert statement would do the same. But short of something like that, emails should be generated when an exec event happens. Cheers - Callum.
