HI all, I'm reading about service dependencies but I couldn't find any regarding monit waiting for a give process to start before starts another one. I have a Python based service that depends on redis-server to work, so here is the configuration:
check process redis-server with pidfile /var/run/redis/redis-server.pid start program "/etc/init.d/redis-server start" with timeout 60 seconds stop program "/etc/init.d/redis-server stop" check process insert with pidfile /tmp/service.pid start program "/root/init.sh start" stop program "/root/init.sh stop" depends on redis-server When I start the insert process, monit starts it and also starts redis-server as expected but both at the same time. Given that my redis-server has to load a huge dataset, it takes about 40 seconds to initiate so insert start complaining about can't connecting to redis. Is there a way that I can tell monit to make sure redis-server is in running state before execute the start of insert? Can you tell me I there is another documentation but this http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#SERVICE-DEPENDENCIES regarding this topic? Thank you in advance. -- --- Guido Accardo
