Re: Script help

[frwa onto]

Dear Martin,

                      I have replace like this start program = "/bin/bash -c '/usr/local/yajswstable/bat9000/startDaemon.sh >> /tmp/start.log 2>&1'"  . Then I stop the service externally not via monit it sends me alerts as usual but it there is nothing in /tmp folder ? So what else to look into to solve this issue? Where is the monit log stored and how to verify the pidfile? Thank you.

Regards,

Frwa

Hello,

your start script most probably depends on some environment variable, which is not present when it is started via Monit. For security reasons Monit sets sandbox for program execution and sets only spartan PATH variable:

       PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

You can log the script output by wrapping it like this:

       start program = "/bin/bash -c '/usr/local/yajswstable/bat9000/startDaemon.sh >> /tmp/start.log 2>&1'"

Regarding the application stop - if you stopped the application via monit ("monit stop cvs9000"), then monit won't send alert, as it the stop disables the monitoring as well. If you stopped the application outside of monit control and monit didn't reported the problem, then there is most probably some issue with the configuration - check monit logs, verify the pidfile content.

It just send me the alert when the application is stopped but it never managed to restart it. What must I do to make it restart ? Another thing there was an instance we purposely stopped but never got alerted could it be monit just miss because its was coincident while its was checking and at the same time the programme was stopped.
