Thanks man it worked I had been banging on my head for a week because of this

my final monit scipt is

check process couchdb
  with pidfile /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid
  #start program = "/etc/init.d/couchdb start"
  #stop program = "/etc/init.d/couchdb stop"
start program = "/usr/bin/sudo -u couchdb /usr/bin/couchdb -b -o / dev/null -e /dev/null -p /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid" stop program = "/usr/bin/sudo -u couchdb /usr/bin/couchdb -b -o / dev/null -e /dev/null -p /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -d"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 5984 then restart
if failed url http://localhost:5984/ and content == '"couchdb"' then restart
  group couchdb

My monit script is verbatim, as monit is run as root I want couchdb
run as couchdb so do the following

check process couchdb with pidfile /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid
 start program = "/usr/bin/sudo -u couchdb /usr/bin/couchdb -b -o
/dev/null -e /dev/null -p /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid"
 stop program  = "/usr/bin/sudo -u couchdb /usr/bin/couchdb -b -o
/dev/null -e /dev/null -p /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid -d"

try that and see what happens...

Hey Guys

has anyone tried to monitor couch with monit?

I am using this settings and monit successfully monitors but when couchdb
dies it fails to restart the service and I can find out why

here is my couchdb.monitrc file:

check process couchdb
 with pidfile /var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid
 start program = "/etc/init.d/couchdb start"
 stop program = "/etc/init.d/couchdb stop"
 if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 5984 then restart
 if failed url http://localhost:5984/ and content == '"couchdb"' then
restart
 group couchdb

BTW I am using couch 0.9.1 and about once a day it dies on me the only thing I get from the log are strange erlang error messages saying OS procees
timeout, anyone know whats that about?
