I dunno but I tried with the respawn parameter for couchdb command in Gentoo but it did not work. Also I have other services setup with monit so its more convenient for me to have everything in one place.

Isn't couchdb (at least in the Debian package) monitored by heart?

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?
