Re: What is the default stop action?

Viktor,

I am afraid I don't understand what are you trying to say.

This line:
stop = "/bin/bash -c 'kill $MONIT_PROCESS_PID'"

Works perfectly fine. Correct PID gets exposed and the desired process is killed.
My question is what is executed if I omit the line completely and require monit to stop the process.

I think only the programs get these variables.
Try using a shell script.

cat <<"EOF" > /usr/local/sbin/monit-process-stop.sh
#!/bin/bash
kill "$MONIT_PROCESS_PID"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/monit-process-stop.sh

...and you may prepare the script for failed stopping or non-existent process.
