Hi everyone.
I've been playing with monit for a bit now, and have it monitoring a
perl based daemon I wrote. I've got a monit rc for that process that
alos performs a file check on the daemon's config file for changes since
the last poll, and restarts the process.
What I'm finding is monit will restart the process fine, but throws a
fatal exception and never recovers as a result.
I'm using Monit 4.5.1 for Linux (RedHat Enterprise 3.0), after the file
change occurs (which I perform manually) monit will attempt the process
restart and exit with dump the following:
AssertException: at xmalloc.c:110 aborting..
Here's the log:
Aug 31 11:50:16 chrisclub monit[19298]: Starting monit HTTP server at
[localhost:2812]

Aug 31 11:52:16 chrisclub monit[19298]: 'proc1' stop: /etc/init.d/proc1

xmalloc.c:110 aborting..
Aug 31 11:52:19 chrisclub proc1: proc1.pl startup succeeded
Here's my rc entry:
check process proc1
with pidfile /var/run/proc1.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/proc1 start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/proc1 stop"
if 3 restarts within 3 cycles then timeout
depends on proc1_updater_config
check file proc1_updater_config path /etc/proc1/config
if changed sha1 checksum
then restart
I've also tried setting the check file to exec instead of restart for
"/etc/init.d/proc1 restart" with no luck.
If I remove the file check and test killing proc1, monit will restart it
fine. With the file check, it dies.
Any ideas or work arounds?! Thanks!
