Sorry for the delay, here is the result, not quite sure this is exactly what you want:
while (true); do cat /proc/meminfo /proc/stat /proc/[1-9]*/stat /proc/[1-9]*/status > /dev/null; sleep 5; done & [1] 31676 root@media:~# ps aux | grep [3]1676 root 31676 0.0 0.0 6024 2632 pts/2 S 14:19 0:00 -bash kill 31676 This is a bash process so doubt that is what you are looking for. The only other way I know is this: while (true); do cat /proc/meminfo /proc/stat /proc/[1-9]*/stat /proc/[1-9]*/status > /dev/null; sleep 5; done ps aux | grep [s]leep root 32022 0.0 0.0 3768 332 pts/2 S+ 14:23 0:00 sleep 5 root@media:~# killall sleep This doesn't work, but obviously it is a forked process, not sure how to kill the main process? -- View this message in context: http://nongnu.13855.n7.nabble.com/Unable-to-stop-monit-tp208452p209217.html Sent from the monit-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
