Package: mon Version: 1.2.0-9 Severity: normal /usr/sbin/mon -B /etc/mon -a /usr/lib/mon/alert.d -s /usr/lib/mon/mon.d -D /var/lib/mon -L /var/log/mon -f -c /etc/mon/mon.cf
The default configuration of mon runs the daemon with the above command line. alertdir = /usr/lib/mon/alert.d mondir = /usr/lib/mon/mon.d logdir = /var/log/mon The default mon.cf has the above entries which lead one to expect that changing those entries would change the behavior of the daemon. However they have no effect because the command-line overrides them. One way to deal with this without confusing the user would be to have the above mon.cf lines commented out as examples with a comment saying "the default configuration sets these in /etc/default/mon". But it might be best to just have it configured to only use the config file. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mon depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libtime-period-perl 1.20-8 ii mon-client 1.2.0-2 Versions of packages mon recommends: pn fping <none> pn libauthen-pam-perl <none> pn libcrypt-ssleay-perl <none> pn libfilesys-diskspace-perl <none> pn libnet-dns-perl <none> pn libnet-ldap-perl <none> pn libnet-telnet-perl <none> pn libsnmp-perl <none> pn libstatistics-descriptive-perl <none> pn libtime-parsedate-perl <none> ii perl-modules [libnet-perl] 5.20.2-3+deb8u4 Versions of packages mon suggests: ii mon-contrib 1.0+dfsg-3 -- no debconf information
