ok I'm getting more positive results now but exec "/root/sendemail.sh" doesn't trigger anything. Nothing happens. I'm watching the tail of monit.log and it is matching the pattern and showing 'exec: /root/sendemail.sh' but nothing happens. If I do /root/sendemail.sh in a terminal the script sends an email just as it should. I did chown monit.monit /root/sendemail.sh to make sure of now ownership problems, and I also did: chmod 777 /root/sendemail.sh to make sure of all permissions but still nothing happens when monit matches a pattern and does /root/sendemail.sh. I've also watched the tail of var/log/maillog and that shows that nothing is being emailed. What's further puzzling is I don't get any error message. Any ideas?
