I wanted to configure monit with a rule that checks a network
connection, restarts the connection if it fails, and eventually
reboots the entire router if the connection restarts don't work.
I wrote this in my rules:
start "/sbin/ifup inet"
stop "/sbin/ifdown inet"
if failed icmp type echo count 3 timeout 10 seconds then restart
if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then exec "/sbin/reboot"
When I tested these rules I found that monit 5.0.3 does not
support the phrase:
... then exec "/sbin/reboot"
But this phrase is supported by monit 5.1.1.
I patched the Makefile to upgrade to 5.1.1, rebuilt and reflashed,
and now my monit rule runs as intended. So I have tested this on a
grand total of one machine (Linksys WAG354G, TI AR7). Is this
enough to justify upgrading monit for everyone?
My changes to package/feeds/packages/monit/Makefile are below.
They were generated with svn diff.
