Package: monit Version: 1:5.1.1-1 Severity: normal
Monit on my squeeze system seemed to attempt to start when using /etc/init.d/monit start but whenever I check ps output it was not there. Two things I tried or observed: I noticed that a file /root/.monit.id was being created and that was pretty much the only evidence I could find that the daemon had attempted to start Invoking monit directly from the command line using the command: /usr/sbin/monit -d 180 -c /etc/monit/monitrc -s /var/lib/monit/monit.state ...seemed to work By looking in /etc/init.d/monit on squeeze and lenny servers I could not see where the -d 180 bit of argument was coming from on squeeze Making changes to /etc/init.d/monit to bring in a couple of lines from the older Lenny version of /etc/init.d/monit ...seemed to do the trick (a diff is attached but I describe here also) I brought the following two lines over from Lenny version: CHECK_INTERVALS=180 # We default to 180s (3min) check intervals and then amended ARGS to be ARGS="-d $CHECK_INTERVALS -c $CONFIG -s /var/lib/monit/monit.state" rather than the shorter ARGS="-c $CONFIG -s /var/lib/monit/monit.state" I find monit really useful and it is great to have it in Debian - many thank Stefan for making it available. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5xen (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages monit depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam0g 1.1.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-1 SSL shared libraries monit recommends no packages. monit suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/monit changed: startup=1 /etc/monit/monitrc changed: include /etc/monit/conf.d/*.conf -- no debconf information
