Re: syntax error 'then"

[Rafael Torres]

what if I want to check for the existance of a file? for example:

check file mongod.lock with path /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock
        if  exist then exec “ /bin/rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock”
    

will this work?

You need to specify full test/condition … for example if you want to execute the command if process doesn’t exist:

check process mongod with pidfile /data/db/mongodb.pd
    start program = “/etc/init.d/mongod start"
    stop program = “/etc/init.d/mongod stop"
    if does not exist then exec “ /bin/rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock”

Note that this will override the default restart action when the process doesn’t exist => you’ll need to add implicit restart command too, either:

check process mongod with pidfile /data/db/mongodb.pd
    start program = “/etc/init.d/mongod start"
    stop program = “/etc/init.d/mongod stop"
    if does not exist then exec “/bin/bash -c ‘/bin/rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock && /etc/init.d/mongod restart’”

or:

check process mongod with pidfile /data/db/mongodb.pd
    start program = “/etc/init.d/mongod start"
    stop program = “/etc/init.d/mongod stop"
    if does not exist then exec “ /bin/rm /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock”
    if does not exist then restart
