Hello all,

 

Is it possible to configure monit to restart CRON if it stop working for some reason?

 

Currently I´m using the following configuration to monitor it, but monit do not restart it.

 

check process cron with pidfile /var/run/cron.pid

   group system

   start program = "/etc/init.d/cron start"

   stop  program = "/etc/init.d/cron stop"

   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

   depends on cron_rc

 

check file cron_rc with path /etc/init.d/cron

   group system

   if failed checksum then unmonitor

   if failed permission 755 then unmonitor

   if failed uid root then unmonitor

   if failed gid root then unmonitor

 

Regards

 

Atenciosamente
