Re: jboss process fails to load properly

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

during the restart, monit checks that the application stopped (before calling 
start) by looking for the PID from the piddfile - if the PID is not present in 
the process table or the pidfile was removed, Monit thinks the process stopped.

In your case it seems, that the pidfile is removed before the process stops (by 
some stop script or maybe the java application itself). The solution could be 
to use the pattern based check:

        check process my process matching "mypattern"


Regards,
Martin
