Whereas, It starts the process very well using "monit start". Problem Discription: I am using monit 3.2 binary on solaris (I have not compiled and installed monit due to some system configuration issues. I am not aware whether monit needs anything else to run properly. When I run the monit binary I have, it seems to run fine.). I want to make use of monit to monitor processes related to my project. Since none of my programs create pid file, I have used wrapper script to first dump the pid to a pid file, then spawning the program from same shell. Script (monitor.sh): #!/usr/bin/bash LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/help/lib:/usr/share/lib:/usr/ccs/lib: /usr/local/lib:/lib:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/asn1/v583/./asn1c-v5 83/cpp/libgpp3/:/opt/ans1v583/asn1c-v583/cpp/libgpp3:/usr/lib/AdobeReade r/Reader/sparcsolaris/lib/:/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/sparc/cli ent:/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/sparc:/local/f880-5disk2/home/gl oballogic/AMS/Triton_state_SC/PSD_Manager/:/local/f880-5disk2/home/globa llogic/AMS/Triton_County_Carthret/PSD_Manager/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=$PATH:. export PATH if [ $# -lt 3 ] then echo "usage: $0 [program] [start/stop] [pid file name]" else echo "executing: $1 $2 $3" case $2 in start) echo in start > a.txt rm "$3" 2 >& /dev/null echo after removing >>a.txt echo $$ > "$3" echo after pid dump, before exec >>a.txt exec $1 > $1.log 2>&1 echo after exec > a.txt ;; stop) PID=`cat $3` if [ $PID != "" ] then kill $PID else echo "PID for $3 not found" >> monitlog fi rm "$3" 2 >& /dev/null;; *) echo "usage: $0 [program] [start/stop] [pid file]" ;; esac fi my monitrc file is: set logfile "/local/f880-5disk2/home/globallogic/AMS/Int_TestBed_2/PSD_Manager/monit log" set daemon 120 set mailserver integer.synapse.com check WPG with pidfile /local/f880-5disk2/home/globallogic/AMS/Int_TestBed_2/PSD_Manager/WPG.pi d start program = "/local/f880-5disk2/home/globallogic/AMS/Int_TestBed_2/PSD_Manager/monit or.sh Int2_WPG_ams0.5.16 start WPG.pid" stop program = "/local/f880-5disk2/home/globallogic/AMS/Int_TestBed_2/PSD_Manager/monit or.sh Int2_WPG_ams0.5.16 stop WPG.pid" alert [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I run monit from command line like: $ ./monit start WPG It starts the process. Also, $ ./monit stop WPG Stops the process. Also, $ ./monit start Works fine. i.e., it starts the process listed in monitrc. But, when I run the monit in daemon mode like $ ./monit Now if the process monit is watching is killed, it is unable to restart the process. The error message I can see in monitlog file is: [GMT Mar 7 05:19:17] start: (WPG) /local/f880-5disk2/home/globallogic/AMS/Int_TestBed_2/PSD_Manager/monito r.sh [GMT Mar 7 05:19:27] monit: Warning process 'WPG' was not started And the process is indeed not started. I keep on getting emails like: Program WPG restarted Date: Fri Mar 7 05:19:06 2008 Host: unknown Your faithful employee, monit Reason: Process is not running. But the process is not started. Kindly help, this is very critical. Thanks in anticipation, Divakar.
