I have a problem with monit executing script on success.

~/.monitrc:

check host example.com with address example.com
if failed url http://example.com/startpage and content == "mainBaner"
timeout 10 seconds
then exec "/usr/local/bin/monit_example_error.sh"
    else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/monit_example_ok.sh"

It appears to run the script if there's an error, but not when there's no error.

Log shows that the tests are ran and succeed, /var/log/monit.log:

[CEST Jun  8 12:24:52] debug    : 'example.com' succeeded testing protocol [HTTP] at INET[example.com:80/startpage] via TCP
[CEST Jun  8 12:25:22] debug    : 'example.com' succeeded connecting to INET[example.com:80/dlibra] via TCP
[CEST Jun  8 12:25:46] debug    : HTTP: Regular expression matches
[CEST Jun  8 12:25:46] debug    : 'example.com' succeeded testing protocol [HTTP] at INET[example.com:80/startpage] via TCP
[CEST Jun  8 12:26:16] debug    : 'example.com' succeeded connecting to INET[example.com:80/dlibra] via TCP
[CEST Jun  8 12:26:39] debug    : HTTP: Regular expression matches

I have checked that running /usr/local/bin/monit_example_ok.sh works as expected (creating relevant status file in relevant dir).

Succeed action is only executed after a fail event is solved (i.e. when going from state fail to state success), not when things behave as expected.
