But you can use a dummy service with multiple failed host tests.

Hello David,
nice idea, have a look to

Hello Dave,
a process uptime test ist available, see

No, we/I use AIX (7.2), SLES (11.4, 12.3 and 12.4) and MacOS (10.6,
10.10). We/I use Monit 5.25.2, 5.26.0 and 5.19.0 (for the old MacOS 10.6
