as a newbie to monit I'm having difficulty understanding how I get monit to 
watch for a particular text string (pattern?) in a logfile and then run a 
script when it finds it.

Anthony,
I would be interested to hear what the solution you find for this one is.

Specifically, I would like to monitor for the OOM killer coming into action on 
a system.

My first thought would be to use a log watcher program rather than monit, the 
classical Logwatch being the obvious one.
