RE: [monit] Problem when monit restart services without a pid file

[William Tisäter]

Hi again!

Lets ignore my earlier posts.

I have one service on my server controlled by a script with three functions: 
start, stop and status.

The start command will run a java process and some more; this is the processes 
I want to monitor.

Status for this processes taken from the pid file will not be valid, instead 
the status script will run several tests and return the status.

I want monit to check if this service is up all the time, where up is defined 
by the status script returning OK.

/ William

How about "echo 12345 > /path/to/pidfile" instead of "rm -f 
/path/to/pidfile"? Although I still don't quite understand your setup.
