Hello all, So, I've been using monit with mongrel for a while now, since the 0.3.x days (I think it was). It used to work fine, but now I seem to be having some trouble. I'm currently using mongrel 1.0.1 and I am using the same monit configuration I've always been using, yet everytime monit should restart mongrel, I get "Execution failed".
For the start command, I originally used the following: ------------ start program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid'" ------------ But then monit started giving me execution failed errors and when I tried to run it manually I got a "PID already exists" error. So, I tried the following: ------------ start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8001.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid'" ------------ Which just adds the rm at the start. Yet, monit still can't manage to restart mongrel. I have no idea why. This is my full monit file ------------ ##### mongrel 8000 - GoHuman ##### check process mongrel-8000 with pidfile /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8000.pid start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8000.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8000 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8000.pid'" stop program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8000.pid'" if totalmem is greater than 80.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert # eating up memory? if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process? if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then restart # bad, bad, bad if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout # something is wrong, call the sys-admin group gohuman ##### mongrel 8001 - GoHuman ##### check process mongrel-8001 with pidfile /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8001.pid start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8001.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid'" stop program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid'" if totalmem is greater than 80.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert # eating up memory? if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process? if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then restart # bad, bad, bad if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout # something is wrong, call the sys-admin group gohuman ##### mongrel 8002 - GoHuman ##### check process mongrel-8002 with pidfile /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8002.pid start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8002.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8002 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8002.pid'" stop program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c '/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8002.pid'" if totalmem is greater than 80.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert # eating up memory? if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process? if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then restart # bad, bad, bad if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout # something is wrong, call the sys-admin group gohuman ------------ Thanks, -carl -- EPA Rating: 3000 Lines of Code / Gallon (of coffee) _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
