Re: [monit] Can't restart monit

[Martin Pala]

This is strange ... works well on freebsd-6.4 for me:

address@hidden /usr/ports/sysutils/monit]# uname -a
FreeBSD freebsd6.localdomain 6.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 
26 11:43:51 UTC 2008 
address@hidden:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

address@hidden /usr/ports/sysutils/monit]# ps -auxw | grep monit
root  62182  0.0  1.0  3580  2388  ??  S    11:18PM   0:00.20 
/usr/local/bin/monit -c /usr/local/etc/monitrc

address@hidden /usr/ports/sysutils/monit]# cat /var/run/monit.pid
62182

address@hidden /usr/ports/sysutils/monit]# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/monit restart
Performing sanity check on monit configuration:

address@hidden /usr/ports/sysutils/monit]# cat /var/run/monit.pid
62212

address@hidden /usr/ports/sysutils/monit]# ps -auxw | grep monit
root  62212  0.0  1.0  3580  2388  ??  S    11:21PM   0:00.05 
/usr/local/bin/monit -c /usr/local/etc/monitrc


I'm using monit rc script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/monit from monit port 
(/usr/ports/sysutils/monit).

Verified with monit port (4.10.1) and latest development version 
(5.0_beta6).


I'd suggest setting logging in monit configuration + enable verbose mode 
... you can modify the following line in rc script:

  command_args="-c ${default_config}"

to (added "v"):

  command_args="-vc ${default_config}"


Can you verify whether monit is running with PID for which the rc script 
is waiting? (in the example it was 93378).


Thanks,
Martin
