Re: [monit] monitoring nfs mounts

[Teresa Havel]

I did check the logs and it did show the error when the process was not 
running. Then in the next line it would say:
monit: Start or stop method not defined -- process tcpaprscvt
It would not start automatically. But it would work when I used the 
start service button on the browser interface. Based on the log message, 
I began to wonder if monit needed to have a stop method present in 
monitrc, even though it only needed to run the start method. I added a 
stop method, which was just the same method that I used in start, 
because I figured it wasn't going to have to use it anyway, it only uses 
the stop method if you select stop or restart. After I did that, it 
began to work properly, automatically starting the process when it 
determined it had stopped. I belileve that solves my problem for now. 
Thanks for the suggestions.
