Re: succeeded keyword leads to unexpected behavior and wrong status/summary

Hello Lutz,

thnx, this solved the problem with the wrong status..
'monit status' and 'monit summary=E2=80=98 now giving the correct =
status.

It even seems that I do not need the first =E2=80=9Aif failed ping then =
alert=E2=80=98,
because =E2=80=9Aif failed ping then exec =E2=80=A6=E2=80=98 also sends =
a mail in parallel.
