When I change the pidfile, </etc/init.d/monit stop> does not work. I
can still see the monit process running when I do <ps -ef | grep monit>.
Also </etc/init.d/monit start> does not work. Here is the output:
----------------------------------
[root@localhost Desktop]# /etc/init.d/monit start

'systemctl status monit.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

----------------------------------
In monitrc I'm setting the pid file to /usr/local/monit/logs/monit.pid.
The errors shows it is looking in /var/run/monit.pid
If I comment out the pidfile entry in monitrc, everything works as
expected.
I'm using Centos 7 and compiled from source:
tar xf monit-5.8.1.tar.gz
cd monit-5.8.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/monit --sysconfdir=/usr/local/monit
make
make install
ln -s /usr/local/monit/bin/monit /usr/bin/monit
mkdir /usr/local/monit/logs
cp /usr/src/monit-5.8.1/monitrc /usr/local/monit
edit /usr/local/monit/monitrc
add: set logfile /usr/local/monit/logs/monit.log
add: set pidfile /usr/local/monit/logs/monit.pid
cp /usr/src/monit-5.8.1/system/startup/rc.monit /etc/init.d/monit
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/monit
chkconfig monit on
