Re: [monit] Monitor timestamp only and not existence of file |

Hello,
I'm resending version since I received no reply:
On Ubuntu 9.10
$sudo monit -V
This is monit version 5.0.3
Any ideas please? Alternatively, if I can't ignore "exists" of a file
then any ideas for another method so that I only get a log when there is
a timeout.
Thanks, Rishad
