No problem, if you run monit as root you can still start programs as
another user. Simply use the 'as uid and gid' sub-statements to
start, stop and exec. For example
check process tomcat with pidfile /var/run/tomcat.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/tomcat start"
as uid nobody and gid nobody
stop program = "/etc/init.d/tomcat stop"
# You can also use id numbers instead and write:
as uid 99 and with gid 99
if failed port 8080 then alert

Hi
I am using monit to monitor apache and mysql. Monit is running as
non root user. Now I want to monitor a service running under root
user. If I install Monit under root user then how can I monitor the
services running under non-root user.
I don't want to run two monits i.e One running under root user and
one running under non-root user.
