I'm just toying around with monit, and I'm hesitant to give it full control
just yet.
I want to configure monit to restart a crashed daemon, but not to try to start
one just because none is running yet.
ie
If there's a pid file from normal init.d startup, but no process, something probably crashed, restart.
If there's no pid file, just sit tight.
I was hoping to do this by depend-chaining a file check and a process check,
but it doesn't appear to be working..
----------------------------------------------------------
check process apache with pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid
depends on apache_pidfile
start program = "/tools/apachectl.sh start"
stop program = "/tools/apachectl.sh stop"
if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
group server
check file apache_pidfile with path /var/run/httpd.pid
#start program = "/bin/false"
mode passive
group server
----------------------------------------------------------
This will identify that
'apache_pidfile' file doesn't exist
, but it still trys to restart apache.
'apache' trying to restart
It seems the depend chain logic may not be working?
Or I was also search for a 'missing' type keyword.
ie:
check file apache_pidfile with path /var/run/httpd.pid
if missing unmonitor
Or something like that.
Thoughts??
This is monit version 4.8.1
Thanks,
