Re: [monit] Monit to monitor http process, not response code

[Martin Pala]

Yes, this could work ... alternatively you can use just the "alert" 
pair, since the process existence test is default and doesn't need any 
testing statement for being enabled.

The first "restart" pair will apply only in the case that the process is 
running but doesn't accept TCP connections (which can happen as well).

If the test failed, the response is not included in the mail currently 
(can be changed in future versions).
