We've been trying to use god to monitor various services. The setup is pretty simple, but we are running into issues that make me not trust god. I am not sure if I'm expecting god to do something it can't or if I've got things mis-configured.
The main issue is that if apache gets restarting out-of-band while god is monitoring it, apache gets restarted twice quickly and this causes all kinds of race conditions with which "restart" finished first, if they succeed, and if the pid_file ends up being correct. Is it just basically a complete no-no to expect god to behave sanely when the monitored process is restarted out-of-band? Do I just need to train myself to never restart services directly and just use god? We are running into all kinds of crazy issues where god ends up monitoring a bonk pid and thus whenever our pid's cycle around and that pid is used again, it sees it exit and then it kicks apache for no reason. Please advise if anyone has experience with this issue. Thanks, Alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "god.rb" group.
