Hi,
Gentoo 64 bits
I have defined the next service in monitrc:
check process trans-simon with pidfile
/var/run/transmission-simon.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/trans-simon start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/trans-simon stop"
if 2 restarts within 4 cycles then exec
"/etc/init.d/trans-simon zap"
if 7 restarts within 10 cycles then timeout
This the output of monit.log with this service:
[CEST Sep 24 15:09:45] error : 'trans-simon' process is not running
[CEST Sep 24 15:09:45] info : 'trans-simon' trying to restart

Output of daemon.log:
Sep 24 15:09:45 ks212190 /etc/init.d/trans-simon[55382]: WARNING:
trans-simon has already been started
Sep 24 15:11:16 ks212190 /etc/init.d/trans-simon[55496]: WARNING:
trans-simon has already been started
In Gentoo it can't start a service that theoretically is started
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4) .
The correct, I think, would be execute a restart or a stop and then
start. Not a start directly.
For this erroneous behaviour I have defined: if 2 restarts within 4
cycles then exec "/etc/init.d/trans-simon zap"
But the worst is that the service is started:
simon 55606 1 0 15:12 ? 00:00:08
/usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon ....
# cat /var/run/transmission-simon.pid
55606
but Monit says no:
# monit summary
The Monit daemon 5.5 uptime: 2d 19h 45m
Process 'trans-simon' Timeout
And the alert emails are confusing too (in chronological order):
Does not exist Service trans-simon

-------------------------

It executes a timeout before "7 restarts within 10 cycles" and then it
says that the process is active but monit summary still show it as
timeout. ¿?
What's the problem?
Regards.
