Re: Monit and booting

[David Jones]

This was addressed in version 5.26.

https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/issues/829

Update to 5.26 and remove the "start delay" line.  Note if you are on a recent version and your distro hasn't updated the official package you normally install from, just drop in the pre-compiled binary over the top of the old one.   This worked for me in my CentOS 7 environment but the standard disclaimer applies to test this for yourself locally.

Hi Viktor, and others,

This is a setting for everything. Every time I want to test something, I
have to wait some seconds. I don't like that. Isn't it possible in the
check?  Something like:
-----
check process apache with pidfile /var/run/apache2/apache2.pid
  start delay 10
  start program = "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"
  stop program  = "/etc/init.d/apache2 stop"
  if 4 restarts within 20 cycles then timeout
-----

Or only have an delay at boot, and not at a restart later.

With regards,
Paul
