Re: is there a better way?

[Nick Upson]

check device opt with path /opt

    if space usage > 99% then stop else start

doesn't work, once the syntax is correct, the start never happens because the stop has unmonitored the check

check device opt with path /opt
  if space usage > 90% then stop
  else if succeeded then start

Yeah, there is a better that I believe will do what you want.

Change that to:

check device opt with path /opt

    if space usage > 99% then unmonitor

And then add this to your mysql check:

    depends on opt

That should do it.  Because mysql now depends on opt, if opt becomes unmonitored, mysql should be stopped.  You will have to manually tell monit to start watching the filesystem again when you have clean up things.

You might even be about to do this:

check device opt with path /opt

    if space usage > 99% then stop else start

If I am correct, this will cause the depenent service to stop when file system is over 99% full and start it when the usage drops.

currently I have

  exec "/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/monit stop database'"
