Feature Request - First class support for non email alerts

[Karthik T]

Even just a command line alert mechanism would suffice to compose other alert systems ourselves.

Right now the recommendation is to use exec to implement non standard alerts.

However native alerts are more widespread, there are alerts which cannot to be replicated by exec (FILE missing triggers an alert, comes to mind)

Other major advantage is clean up the code to be as clean as the email version, instead of exec somescript_name.sh it would just be alert

I have to imagine this has been requested before.. is there a specific reason it isnt supported?

We plan to do it, but there were more important things to do. See the comment in this pull request for the description of the planned implementation: https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/pull-requests/19/support-for-alerting-by-shell-commands/diff
