Cannot add M/Monit as daemon

[Sorin Srbu]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get M/Monit to automatically start at boot on a CentOS
6.9-server.
Assuming this is easiest done by demonizing M/Monit I tried and got the
below messages.

address@hidden /etc/init.d/ [0]# chkconfig mmonit_init on
service mmonit_init does not support chkconfig

address@hidden /etc/init.d/ [0]# service mmonit_init restart
Restarting mmonit: mmonitcat: /var/run/mmonit.pid: No such file or directory
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or
kill -l [sigspec]

 not running.
address@hidden /etc/init.d/ [0]#

address@hidden /var/run/ [0]# whereis mmonit.pid
mmonit: /usr/local/mmonit
address@hidden /var/run/ [0]#

address@hidden /usr/local/mmonit/ [0]# ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4096 Apr 19 07:31 ./
drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 4096 Apr 19 07:29 ../
drwxr-xr-x  10 root root 4096 Apr 19 07:29 mmonit-3.7.0/
drwxr-xr-x  10 root root 4096 Apr 18 23:07 mmonit-3.7.1/
address@hidden /usr/local/mmonit/ [0]#

I don't get this...

Now, the weird thing is that M/Monit _is_ running.
I just can't control it via the OS's own daemon system.

Is there any recommended practice to have M/Monit autostart on boot?

Thanks.
