You've got a couple things which are slightly strange, but they shouldn't
cause any problems. I suspect the actual problem is that your alert script
either doesn't exist or isn't executable.
The strange things are:
The second half of your period statement is unnecessary. If you want an
'allways' period, any single range that covers everything will work, so
either 'wd {Mon-Sun}' or 'hr {12am-11pm}'. But both shouldn't be a
problem. (Though Time::Period doesn't claim to support "0am", but (testing
it) it looks like it works)
Also, on a test whose interval is 5 minutes, an alertevery of 5 minutes is
pointless. (Mon only alerts after events. If your interval was 1 hour,
you'd never get an alert more often then once an hour.) But again, that
shouldn't cause any problems.
Have you looked at syslog, to see if anything is getting reported. If
there is nothing there you might want to enable more syslog logging,
'daemon.info' will get you lots of stuff from mon. (assuming you haven't
set the syslog facility to something other then daemon in your mon.cfg)
