Hello,
The correct syntax is "check program" (
https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#Program)
Also it is not recommended to specify an unique value in the cron
expression for the minute field.
In your case, best is to trigger the check every 120 cycles (1 hours -> 60
minutes -> 1 cycle every 30 sec -> every 120 cycles)
It summarize to:
check program ping.sh with path "/path/to/ping.sh"
every 120 cycles
if status != 0 then alert
Regards.
