get PID of filtered process

[Former user]

Hello, I am trying to find PID of filtered process and I can't find documentation how to do it. It would by nice to have $PID variable (or something like that) available for exec task there.

Hello, i'm not sure what you mean by filtered process ... if the monitored process and need the PID in the executed command, the exec/restart action provides various environment variables, such as MONIT_PROCESS_PID (provides PID of the given process).

More details in Monit manual: http://www.mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#environment
