I have a problem with monit executing script on success.
~/.monitrc
:
check host example.com with address example.com
if failed url http://example.com/startpage and content == "mainBaner"
timeout 10 seconds
then exec "/usr/local/bin/monit_example_error.sh"
else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/monit_example_ok.sh"
It appears to run the script if there's an error, but not when there's no error.
Log shows that the tests are ran and succeed, /var/log/monit.log
:

I have checked that running /usr/local/bin/monit_example_ok.sh
works as expected (creating relevant status file in relevant dir).

Succeed action is only executed after a fail event is solved (i.e. when going from state fail to state success), not when things behave as expected.
