[Pkg-monitoring-maintainers] Bug#880629: mon: should make better notifications of missing monitor scripts

[Russell Coker]

Package: mon
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal

  GROUP           SERVICE      STATUS      LAST       NEXT       ALERTS SUMMARY
R servername      basicps      untested    untested   0s         none
Monshow includes output like the above when the monitor script can't be
executed (EG due to wrong name or wrong path).

It should have the SUMMARY field give information like
"ps.monitor: command not found" to make it easy to recognise the problem.
