I suspect that the tomcat-restart script refuse to run because it
expect some environment variables it cant find. Maybe JAVA_HOME and
stuff like that. When monit execute a script, it purge the environment
and only sets a very spartan PATH. So you must make sure that you set
and export all environment variables yourself in the tomcat-restart
script or in a wrapper script that calls tomcat-restart. (If you
search the mailing list archive you may find a hint since this has
been discussed before.)
With regards to "/bin/date >> /var/monit.log" this wont work since
monit does not execute a shell. It takes the first argument given to
exec as the program to execute and the rest as arguments to the
program. However you can start a script in exec, and this will work "/
bin/bash -c '/bin/date >> /var/monit.log'
Best regards
