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 Mit freundlichen Grüßen Patrick Viola Projektentwicklung Business Information Tel: +49 2152 143 - 439, Fax: +49 2152 44 47 E-Mail: [email protected], Lotus Notes: Patrick Viola@GEPONETZ GEDAK - Gesellschaft für Datenverarbeitung und Kommunikation mbH Mülhauser Str. 157 · D-47906 Kempen, Geschäftsführer: Bernd Kothes Amtsgericht Krefeld HRB 9087, Steuer-Nr. 115/5715/0137, USt.-ID DE119998337 www.gedak.de Von: <[email protected]> An: <[email protected]> Datum: 04.03.2011 08:08 Betreff: 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% cpu percent total 0.0% data collected Fri Mar 1 16:02:33 2011 Thanks.
