Re: Check process inside screen terminal

[Russell Simpkins]

I was suggesting you edit your rtorrent start script:

https://gist.github.com/russellsimpkins-nyt/fd917de3131d5938a8c3529bdae27a79#file-rtorrent-L68

However, there seems no reason to watch the rtorrent pid if it's death kills the screen pid.

Thanks Russell,

I don't understand your code, where must I add this? in the init
script or in the monit script?

I normally configure this way:

check process rtorrent with pidfile /var/run/rtorrent.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/rtorrent start"
  stop program  = "/etc/init.d/rtorrent stop"

And yes, If I kill the rtorrent, the screen process disappear:

address@hidden:~# ps -e | grep rtorrent
17523 pts/1    00:00:00 rtorrent
address@hidden:~# ps -e | grep screen
17521 ?        00:00:00 screen
address@hidden:~# killall rtorrent
address@hidden:~# ps -e | grep screen
address@hidden:~# ps -e | grep rtorrent
