And, perl is "built in" too. I don't think there is a Linux or Unix that
comes without it. Been that way for years.
Also, I believe it's been pointed out that if it works from the command
line, but not from startup, that's an environment issue. Check your
environment and your dependencies in your bash shell. Use full path
lengths so that you aren't dependent on $PATH. And so on.

The point is mon is perl based, and there already exists a perfectly
working sms.alert script, so why re-invent the wheel.
Since you are using a debian based system and they are well known for
screwing things to their own liking I suggest you investigate your
init.d mon script which it is pretty clear where the problem is.

well, why use perl to do something, when it should work with bash, the
built-in way to do things in linux?
And mind it works, when i start mon -f it executes, but not when i run
/etc/init.d/mon start.
