[monit] Monit restart command problem

[Perdue, Emmett]

I am seeing some strange behavior from Monit when a restart command is issued. When I issue a "monit restart app_name" command, Monit is sending the stop and start commands in the monitrc file back to back within 1/10 of a second. It is not sending the stop command and waiting for it to finish before sending the start command.

If I run the scripts outside of Monit, all is fine. What should I look for? Below is a snip of the Monit log from when the problem happens…

[EST Mar  5 10:12:32] debug    : restart service 'jboss_eradbre' on user request
