Hello,
you can use "check program" to trigger action if the program exists, something
like:
check program myprocess with path "/usr/bin/pgrep mypattern"
if status = 0 then exec "/my/script"
The pgrep returns 0 if some process matched => monit will execute script in
such case.
I have also created new feature request for simple native process existence (in
addition to existing "if does not exist" statement), so we may implement this
in the future:
