Re: Monit is starting my process, but then monit itself disappears

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

do you have the "set daemon <number_of_seconds>" in the monit configuration 
file? If it is missing, monit will do just one poll.

For example to check the services every 5 seconds add this to the configuration 
file:

    set daemon 5

Regards,
Martin
