Hello All, I am trying to configure the postfix monitoring for my servers, but since i'm not that familiar with monit have hit a snag.
I have a web server which only emails out so port 25 is off from the outside. I think the only way to check that postfix is running on those boxes is to see if the pid file is there, but i'm not sure how to do it. I was thinking something like this: check process postfix with pidfile /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid group mail start program = "/usr/sbin/postfix start" stop program = "/usr/sbin/postfix stop" # if failed host 208.244.164.7 port 25 protocol smtp then restart # if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout depends on postfix_pid check file postfix_pid with path /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid But I only need to see if the file is there since I cant check via the port, and my attempts don't work. Any suggestions appreciated. -- Thanks! Jack -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
