Re: non-standard pid file

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

currently the pidfile based monitoring doesn't allow any prefix for the PID. 
The process matching method should be fine in this case - there were 
performance improvements for this method in recent monit versions, upgrade to 
monit 5.18 is recommended.

Best regards,
Martin
