Martin, definitely a typo in the email. I do not see where I can add any debugging to the script itself.
It appears to be working fine when called from the shell. I tweaked the rules and now it does not attempt to kill the processes so I am ok for the time being. I will see if I can figure out what is going on. Maybe I will break the script into multiple parts sending the output to nonit.out to see if we can see something and then put it back together.

It's probably just typo in mail, but i can see "/usr/binawk" (missing slash) in your stopdaemon.sh script instead of "/usr/bin/awk" ... please can you verify it?

I decided to move to monit because if the higher granularity and functionality. I am running the tests every 30 seconds. Also, I have one test which monitors a process by name which seem to think the process is going down - not certain if it is or not, still checking. In this case the process is pgagent (the PostgreSQL agent). I had never seen it go down before, so will do more checks, but I had seen a thread concerning some issues with monitoring a process by name.

You can log the script output this way: stop program = "/bin/bash -c '/root/stopdaemon.sh staledaemon >>/tmp/monit_stop.out 2>&1'" Regards, Martin On Mar 22, 2011, at 12:36 AM, Benjamin Krajmalnik wrote: I am having a strange issue stopping a group of services (daemons written in PHP). OS is FreeBSD 8.1, monit version is 5.2.4. I have tried various approaches. I tried running it through a stopdaemon.sh which looks as follows: #!/bin/sh #stop a php daemon mydaemon="$1.php" killstring="/bin/ps -aux | /usr/bin/grep 'php $mydaemon' | /usr/bin/grep -v stopdaemon | /usr/bin/grep -v grep | /usr/binawk ' {print \$2}' | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/kill -s KILL && sleep 10" eval $killstring Running this from the command line works fine. Running it from within monit fails - not sure why. Checking the processes which run as the stop script is called I see the following, which indicates it was called properly and with root access: root 61480 0.6 0.0 8264 1784 ??

Any ideas will be deeply appreciated, since it is critical that I be able to stop the processes. I monitor the number of processes which are running, and if they fall below a certain level I need to restart the service, since each process in the service has its own functionality. Any assistance will be deeply appreciated. -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
