Re: Unable to exec external script

[Dragan Zubac]

Hello

Sure thing,here's the whole test setup:

a. application to be monitored is called program.sh (basically every
second echo date command output to some /tmp/program.out file),the
program itself does not set up it's own pid 

b. start up script is called start.sh with start/stop switch,and it's
also a wrapper around application handling pid's and stuff like that

In attachment is also :

a. monit.log file,during a couple of cycles where I changed exec action
directive in monitrc command to explicitly use bash shell - filename
monit.log
b. first monitrc file (before modification) - filename monitrc~
c. second monitrc file (after modification) - filename monitrc
d. script to be execute on event (changed pid in this case) which can accept optional parameter
    - filename test.sh
e. monit -vI output file - filename monit.out

During test I monitored /tmp/helo.out which is a file where goes output
of external script to be execured each time a pid is changed of
monitored application (program.sh),and there was nothing indicating
that monit even tried to execute test.sh script on changed pid event.
I even tried to strace monit's child process after monit startup,but in logs there was no presence of test.sh.
The system I'm using is SuSE v9.3,default installation.

Am I missing something or some other mistake I make ?

Sincerely

Dragan

Hello,

can you describe the configuration and situation where you expect the
exec to happen in more detail? Also the log output from monit verbose
mode (-v option) could be useful.

Thanks,
Martin
