Hello,
We have been working to try and run a bash script at a specified interval with bosh. Our initial approach was to create a job and use the “check program” feature within Monit. However, this requires Monit 5.3+ [1,2]. The version of Monit included in Stemcell is 5.2.4.

This makes us ask a couple of questions:


1- Is there a reason Monit is not being updated?
2- Is there an alternative approach that we can take besides using “check program”?
