Re: syslog,logrotate,solaris sparc

[Martin Pala]

The "debug" is priority in syslog's language (not facility) and you  
cannot set it in monit - each message has the priority assigned based  
on its importance (error, info, debug, etc.). The syslog facility  
option value in monit is choice of log_local0 - log_local7 or  
log_daemon, other facilities are not supported.

Regarding the time based action (e.g. once per week, etc.) monit  
currently doesn't provide such functionality. You can use other tools  
(such as logadm on Solaris, logrotate on linux or cron in general).

Regarding the Solaris installation - it sometimes needs some setting  
(linker paths, libraries, etc.). See http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/ 
dist/binary/solaris/INSTALL and try to use ldd on monit (check for  
missing libraries). When you compiled monit from source, please  
provide output of configure and make, set 'ulimit -c unlimited', run  
monit is verbose mode (-v switch) and provide backtrace of the  
coredump (for example using 'gdb monit core.xyz' and run 'bt' in gdb  
prompt).
