following Keith's LLO install, I have configured monit on h1fescript0 to automatically start the GraceDB notification system on system reboot,and to restart it if it stops running. Here are the details:

created a new exttrig account local to h1fescript0. Currently this has the standard controls password.

In the exttrig home directory, install script run_ext_alert.sh

Install a start/stop script in /etc/init.d/ext_alert

Install monit and mailx on the machine

Configure monit via /etc/monit/monitrc and /etc/monit/conf.d/monit_ext_alert

I changed the ownership of the cert files from user controls to user exttrig

Tested by killing the ext_alert process and checking monit restarted it

I have removed the obsolete startup instructions in the [[ExternalAlertNotification]] wiki page

This closes FRS3415.
