I'm wanting to monitor a linux server running an Informix space. Wondering if the best way is to try setting a trigger/notification on a specific daemon/process Or a custom command maybe
Honestly I'm not sure the best path there.

It all depends on what you want to monitor the the 'informix space'. You could do an OS process to verify that the processes are running or possibly extend SNMP to be able to easily monitor it with OID's

It all depends on your needs.

Im thinking.. since I can see disk space with SNMP, that if I can watch a specific process 'oninit' that that'd do us for now at least.

I added zenoss.cmd.linux.process and re-modeled the device but I don't see the Zenmodeler processing the linux.process part when i manually model the device.

So you created a custom process and remodeled the device, but it didn't show up on the device after the model

What regex did you use for the process

You've totally lost me Hydruid. I added the modeler plugin is all.

So far I have created a new Process Organizer, then a new process called oninit which is the daemon name. Pattern = oninit,
After modelling the device I now have an OS Process and oninit listed as green. Maybe I stumbled into a correct config

If I stumbled into correctly monitoring that process. My problem now if creating an trigger for it.

You did successfully create a new OS Process and sounds like it worked (green = good).

What I would do is stop the process so you can see an event that the process has "stopped". Then use that event to create the trigger(s) you need!
