in case anyone else has this issue, here's how i did it: start program = "/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/monit unmonitor tomcat; /sbin/service tomcat7 start; sleep 180; /usr/bin/monit monitor tomcat'" with timeout 300 seconds

I'm using monit 5.1.1 on centos 6 and having trouble getting it to ignore failures during a restart. I would prefer not to increase the timeout during the check, nor increase the daemon mode polling interval (because this impacts how quickly monit responds to a failure). This was my latest attempt: check process tomcat with pidfile /var/run/tomcat7.pid start program = "/bin/bash -c '/sbin/service tomcat7 start; sleep 180'" with timeout 300 seconds stop program = "/bin/bash -c 'kill -9 $(</var/run/tomcat7.pid)'" if failed host localhost port 8080 protocol http and request "/war/servlet" # with timeout 180 seconds # to allow war time to startup # for 3 cycles # to allow war time to [re]start then restart if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout Playing with the start program command seems to have no effect. What is happening now is that while monit is restarting tomcat, the http check fails because the process is not yet ready. Is there a way to get monit to skip the http check while tomcat is [re]starting? Thanks, Jayen -- Jayen Ashar SysAdmin/Developer @TripGo "All the ways" http://skedgo.com/
