I'm running monit 5.0_beta1, and just thought I'd report an anomoly I've now
seen several times.
Sometimes when processes start the Status is reported as "Execution failed"
(in red in the web interface), and just sticks like that. However the
process is running just fine, and its pid file is there. It's also in
status "monitored".
Here's an example from one system right now:
# monit status
...
Process 'radsub_subscriber'
status Execution failed
monitoring status monitored
pid 3608
parent pid 1
uptime 1d 12h 48m
childrens 0

# cat /etc/monit.d/radsub.monitrc
check process radsub_subscriber
with pidfile /u/apps/radsub/shared/pids/subscriber.pid
start program = "/bin/sh -c 'echo $$ >
/u/apps/radsub/shared/pids/subscriber.pid;
cd /u/apps/radsub/current;
exec /usr/bin/ruby bin/radsub.rb /u/apps/radsub/shared/log/radacct
2>>/u/apps/radsub/shared/log/radsub.log'"
stop program = "/bin/sh -c 'kill `cat
/u/apps/radsub/shared/pids/subscriber.pid`'"
if totalmem is greater than 30.0 MB for 4 cycles then restart
if totalcpu is greater than 30% for 4 cycles then restart
if 10 restarts within 10 cycles then timeout
group radsub
# cat /u/apps/radsub/shared/pids/subscriber.pid
3608
On a different system, it's apache which is in this state:
# monit status
...
Process 'apache'

# cat /var/run/httpd.pid
2784
However the first system is also running apache, with an identical monit
configuration. On that system, apache's status is "running", as I'd expect.
Therefore this is an intermittent problem, only getting stuck in this state
occasionally.
Has this issue been observed before? If not, is there anything I can do to
help track it down?
Thanks,
Brian.
