Re: about monit.conf

[Atsushi Tamae]

Hello,

I installed monit 4.9 to redhat linux ES 4 as rpm.
And I found that monit alert mail is ok.

Subject: radiusd restart on test.test.jp
Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 18:24:03 +0900
From: address@hidden
To: address@hidden

because 'radiusd' process is not running

    Date:   Mon, 05 Mar 2007 18:24:03 +0900
    Host:   test.jp
    Event:  Does not exist.


But I run monit from crontab. on the mail from cron as follows:

Subject: Cron <address@hidden> monit validate
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2007 18:24:03 +0900
From: address@hidden (Cron Daemon)
To: address@hidden

'radiusd' process is not running
'radiusd' trying to restart
'radiusd' start: /etc/init.d/radiusd
'radiusd' failed to start

Why in the cron log like this ?

Thanks
Atsushi Tamae
