Hi,
Monit executes the program directly - not via shell => you need to wrap it if
you want to use pipe, etc.:
check program "/bin/bash -c 'upower -i
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 | grep -qP discharging'"
if status != 0 then exec "/usr/bin/systemctl start
application_service"
Regards,
Martin
