monit is unable to find the pidfile for anything it runs.

[RDX _]

I'm using absolute paths for everything.
Nothing is being started or stopped using an init script.
I'm running monit as root.
I can get processes to start, and processes to stop.

However, when I start processes, monit indicates that it could not find a 
pidfile several times and that the process was not started. The process does 
start, however, as it exists when I "ps -e" it. Also, the pidfile shows up 
in the correct directory, despite monit's claims to the contrary.

The process stops as well, sending the TERM signal to {insert valid and 
existing process ID here}, but not before spitting out "monit: pidfile 
'/path/to/pidfile/process_command_name.pid' does not exist" after it does 
so. And spitting it out twice in succession, I might add.

Initially my problem was just with memcached, but mongrel server processes 
won't work either.

I had wondered if it might be a problem specific to centOS, because I had a 
bugger of a time setting anything up on it in the first place. Other than 
that, i'm truly at a loss.

Any ideas? They'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
