Re: Monit reload not working

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

Monit shouldn't disappear during reload - it should keep running with the same 
PID. The http server is stopped during the reload and started again if the new 
configuration allows the http interface. It seems that in your case monit 
crashed during reload - please can you enable the coredumps and send us your 
monit binary and the coredump?:

1.) ulimit -c unlimited
2.) start monit in foreground in one terminal using capital "i" option like 
this: "monit -Iv")
3.) from other terminal reload monit … if monit will crash, you'll see the 
error message in the first terminal + monit will stop and you can collect the 
coredump

Regards,
Martin
