Hi,
monit execute the script directly, it doesn’t run it using shell - if you need
I/O redirection, backticks, pipes, etc., you need to wrap it the same way the
stop command is wrapped:
start program = “/bin/bash -c ‘/home/ubuntu/xyz.py &>
/home/ubuntu/logs/xyz_`date +\%m_\%d_\%y_\%H_\%M_\%S`.log'”
Regards,
Martin
