Hello,
you can use the process check to test the daemon, and file check to see whether it writes the expected string to the log for example something like this:
--8<-- set daemon 60 # monit cycle is set to 1 minute
check process smartd with pidfile /var/run/smartd.pid start program = ... stop program = ...
check file syslog with path /var/log/syslog if not match "smart" for 30 cycles then alert # expect the string "smart" every 30 cycles => every 30 minutes --8<--
Regards, Martin

This process has a PID but does not have open TCP/UDP ports that I normally use to monit daemons. smartd writes to a log file every 30 minutes. Since smartd is a component of system integrity, it should be guaranteed to be running. Any suggestions to monit smartd? -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
