Thanks Martin, the new feature will be very welcome.
I currently have a number of processes that I need to stop if they are running.
The "if does not exist" will really simplify my monit config!

Thanks!
Phil

Hello,

you can use "check program" to trigger action if the program exists, something like:

        check program myprocess with path "/usr/bin/pgrep mypattern"
                if status = 0 then exec "/my/script"

The pgrep returns 0 if some process matched => monit will execute script in such case.

I have also created new feature request for simple native process existence (in addition to existing "if does not exist" statement), so we may implement this in the future: https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/issue/171/support-if-exists-then-for-testing-that
