Antwort: Problems : start action status is always "failed to start" when check process with matching

[Patrick Viola]

I have had the same problem with two of
my processes. I get rid of the messages with a timeout.

May your process needs some time to
stop or start?
Try to add a timeout behind your stop
/ start command.

start program = "/sbin/service aaa start"
with timeout 20 seconds

Hi,

I am trying to use monit for monitoring a process.
A process doesn't create pid file, so I would like to  use matching
option.
(monit is version 5.2.4 on linux.)

check process aaa  with matching  "aaa"
   start = "/sbin/service aaa start"
   stop =  "/sbin/service aaa stop"


# monit   start  aaa

The process "aaa" is running  but  monit's service
status is always "Execution failed",  
and I recieved a mail.   And "failed to start" was put syslog.

And "monit procmatch"  is  OK. 

Why ?

# monit status 
....
Process 'aaa'
  status                  
         Execution failed   
  monitoring status              
  monitored
  pid                  
            15376   <--- but process
is running !
