Re: Problems : start action status is always "failed to start" when check process with matching

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

you can test the pattern with processes using the new command-line option 
"procmatch" which was added in monit 5.2.4 (available for download here: 
http://www.mmonit.com/monit/download/)

Example:
monit procmatch aaa

... will list all processes matching your pattern

Please try to verify that your pattern returns what is expected.

Regards,
Martin
