Okay, this was a good suggestion:
if failed checksum then unmonitor
Just thought I'd ask that when and if you do put this sort of feature
into monit that you might also consider letting a start/stop/action
script trigger the un-monitoring of a service - I could handle making
my scripts exit a meaningful value, or emit a state code, etc. Some
time back there was discussion about the setting/getting of special
environment variables and that piqued my interest in being able to
prevent spurious restarts, pages, etc, but especially fallback
scenarios... notably the ability for my scripts to be able to tell when
it's *really* time to send pages out or cut the heartbeat.
I think there is a good case to be made for allowing some very limited,
simple handoff communication between monit and outside processes at the
points where monit detects that it has to do something. Ok, I guess
that case has already been made but I just wanted to emphasize that
monit doesn't necessarily have to include every feature like this
within itself, that you guys can give yourself a break about releasing
the holy grail and let users handle some cases.
BTW, what you guys have done for 4.0 is tremendous. Your parents
should be very proud :-)
