If this is true, the one problem described above applies, since your vsftpd is never stopped. DevOps Servers Getting Started with Monit for Server Monitoring Anthony Heddings Apr 22, 2020, 10:00 am EDT 4 min read Monit is a server monitoring program that can check the processes running on your system to ensure that they’re always online and operating within reasonable CPU and memory limits. So supplying start and stop only tries to create new daemons loading start and stop file.

We redirect the JSON output to a file in the example. All arguments are configuration files as stated in the man page. You can monitor Linux systems particularly well with Checkmk. So it's always better to use a PID file for monitoring where possible.įinally - and since not knowing what system/versions you are on, an assumption: The vsftpd binary on my system is really only the daemon. So if there is a task running that matches vsftpd, monit will not call the start program. In fact one problem can arise: if the stop scripts fails to create the expected state (= NOT(check process matching vsftpd)), the start program is not called. If you Restart service (by cli or web) it should print info: 'test' restart on user request to the log and call the stop program and continue with the start program (if no dedicated restart program is provided). The process is stopped and monitoring is disabled, since monitoring a stopped (= non existing) process makes no sense.
