Re: Monit dependency problem (bug?)

[Daniel Rich]

That's already in there -- that's what is bothering me. I have the port 80 
check on localhost that is supposed to trigger a restart but it isn't 
triggering. If that doesn't trigger then neither will the "if 2 restarts within 
2 cycles" block. I even tried changing the order by moving the localhost port 
80 check before the "does not exist" check, but that makes no difference.

check process apache with pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/httpd start"
  stop program  = "/etc/init.d/httpd stop"
  if does not exist
    then exec "/bin/bash -c 'if [ ! -f /tmp/monit.apachedown ]; then touch 
/tmp/monit.apachedown; /usr/bin/monit stop ospfd; fi'"
    else if recovered then exec "/bin/bash -c 'rm /tmp/monit.apachedown && 
/usr/bin/monit monitor ospfd'"
  if failed host localhost port 80 protocol http
     and request "/" then restart
  if children > 50 then restart
  if 2 restarts within 2 cycles then timeout
  group server
  depends on tomcat
