Bug#742381: Remove warning message in monit init script in Debian Wheezy
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Package: monit
Version: 1:5.4-2
When using /etc/monit/monit_delay file in Debian Wheezy no warning
should be displayed. Using the suggested start delay in the config file
results in a different behaviour of monit than using the monit_delay file.
When using start delay in config file monit can not
start/stop/restart/... services during this start delay (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2010-03/msg2.html).
But some systems need to use monit right after it has been restarted to
handle the services.
Assume the following workflow when delay is done via config file:
1. Modify monit configuration
2. Restart monit via 'service monit restart'
3. Restart a monitored service via 'monit restart xyz' = The error
'Cannot connect to the monit daemon Did you start it with http support?'
appears.
To prevent this error you have to use the monit_delay file to start
monitoring services after a given delay AND the ability to manipulate
services via monit CLI right after it has been restarted. But in this
case the current init script will throw an notification message which
should be removed because the suggested replacement will result in a
different and sometimes unwanted behaviour of monit.

Bug#742381: Remove warning message in monit init script in Debian Wheezy

It's displayed, because monit_delay was deprecated and will be removed in wheezy+. Using the suggested start delay in the config file results in a different behaviour of monit than using the monit_delay file. Yes, that's slightly different things. When using start delay in config file monit can not start/stop/restart/... services during this start delay (see [1]https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2010-03/msg2.html). Do you think that monit CLI would work with /etc/monit/monit_delay?! But some systems need to use monit right after it has been restarted to handle the services. Lets examine the reasons for this below... Assume the following workflow when delay is done via config file: 1. Modify monit configuration 2. Restart monit via 'service monit restart' Why you are doing this? Why you can't just do monit reload, instead of restart? To prevent this error you have to use the monit_delay file to start monitoring services I'm sorry, but my point of view: to prevent this error you should read the monit's manpage. That's all. Feel free to reopen this bugreport (with wishlist severity), but please prepare a better argumentation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
