Re: DOS EOLs are problematic

[Martin Pala]

Hmm, this is strange, monit already supports DOS end-of-lines.

I have tested it today and it works good for me (tried on CVS version):

1.) configuration file /etc/monitrc in unix eol format:

--8<--
set daemon  5
set mailserver 127.0.0.1
set logfile /var/log/monit
set httpd port 2812 and allow 127.0.0.1
set alert address@hidden

check host mymailserver with address 192.168.1.1
  if failed port 25 protocol smtp then alert
--8<--


2.) converted to dos format:

# unix2dos /etc/monitrc > /etc/monitrc-dos


3.) monit started:

# monit -vIc /etc/monitrc-dos

monit: Debug: Adding net allow '127.0.0.1'.
Runtime constants:
 Control file       = /etc/monitrc-dos
 Log file           = /var/log/monit
 Pid file           = /var/run/monit.pid
 Debug              = True
 Log                = True
 Use syslog         = False
 Is Daemon          = True
 Use process engine = True
 Poll time          = 5 seconds
 Mail server(s)     = 127.0.0.1
 Mail from          = (not defined)
 Mail subject       = (not defined)
 Mail message       = (not defined)
 Start monit httpd  = True
 httpd bind address = Any/All
 httpd portnumber   = 2812
 httpd signature    = True
 Use ssl encryption = False
 httpd auth. style  = Basic Authentication and Host/Net allow list
 Alert mail to      = address@hidden
 Alert on           = All events

The service list contains the following entries:

Remote Host Name      = mymailserver
 Group                = (not defined)
 Monitoring mode      = active
 Port                 = if failed 192.168.1.1:25 [protocol SMTP] with 
timeout 5 seconds 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert else if passed 1 
times within 1 cycle(s) then alert

Can you attach the output of 'monit -vI' and your configuration file in 
dos format?

Thanks,
Martin
