I avoid pid files as the process list is always current. Usually you have a unique name like httpd: parent process which I had scripted. I noticed today however that OpenBSD's newsyslog matches the parent and not the children which run as www user with pkill -USR1 -U root -u root -x httpd I switched to that because a change in newsyslog.conf would flag up that I may need to check if it still matches (I expect both always will though) So figured I'd throw out the idea that perhaps a user match for procmatching could be useful? -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
