After some researches, it occurs that even if I can find some talks about multiple actions when restarting a service, it also seems it it not really possible to achieve :
if failed port 80 and protocol http
then exec /home/sweet/script.pl
and restart
When declaring the restart command for a service in the monitrc
configuration file, is it ok to try something like this :
restart program = "perl /home/sweet/crazy-stuff.pl && /etc/init.d/server restart"
As monit -t
don't mention any error I prefer to ask before to do bad things.

You should use exec and a bash subshell, for example:
However, best practice recommends using a single script for all your actions ( meaning include the init.d restart command into your shell script.)
