I have had the same problem with two of my processes. I get rid of the 
messages with a timeout.

May your process needs some time to stop or start?
Try to add a timeout behind your stop / start command.

start program = "/sbin/service aaa start" with timeout 20 seconds

Problems : start action status is always "failed to start" when check 
process with matching
Gesendet von:
[email protected]



Hi,

I am trying to use monit for monitoring a process.
A process doesn't create pid file, so I would like to  use matching 
option.
(monit is version 5.2.4 on linux.)

check process aaa  with matching  "aaa"
   start = "/sbin/service aaa start"
   stop =  "/sbin/service aaa stop"


# monit   start  aaa

The process "aaa" is running  but  monit's service status is always 
"Execution failed", 
and I recieved a mail.   And "failed to start" was put syslog.

And "monit procmatch"  is  OK. 

Why ?

# monit status 
....
Process 'aaa'
  status                            Execution failed 
  monitoring status                 monitored
  pid                               15376   <--- but process is running !
  parent pid                        1
  uptime                            1m
  children                          17
  memory kilobytes                  2232
  memory kilobytes total            68428
  memory percent                    0.1%
  memory percent total              3.2%
  cpu percent                       0.0%
