Hi all,
Perhaps I'm not looking in the right spot but as far as I can tell Monit
requires a pidfile in order to monitor a process.
I'm a bit stuck as to how to apply this to Samba. I don't want to
monitor the main Samba process, but I do want to monitor each process
that gets spawned every time someone connects. If there are 50 users
connected to the machine, there will be ~51 copies of smbd running, and
they are created more or less at random so there is no way to put them
in a pidfile.
After these sub-processes have exceeded a certain amount of memory I
want to kill them (the Windows machine will immediately reconnect so
this isn't a problem) but I'm not sure how to tell monit to check all
the processes that match the name "smbd".
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Adam.
