Hello, if the stop method failed, it's not clear if it's safe to run the start method (the service is in kind of undefined state).
You can add a standalone restart method that will override the default stop+start sequence (the restart method can be better prepared for such exceptions then stop+start): check process redis ... start method = "/etc/init.d/redis-server start" stop method = "/etc/init.d/redis-server stop" restart method = "/etc/init.d/redis-server restart" Best regards, Martin > On 4 Jan 2018, at 14:45, SZÉPE Viktor <vik...@szepe.net> wrote: > > Hello! > > Why there is no "start" attempt for 'redis' after the failed stop? > > [UTC Jan 4 12:35:11] error : 'redis' failed protocol test [REDIS] at > [localhost]:6379 [TCP/IP] -- Connection refused > [UTC Jan 4 12:35:12] info : 'redis' trying to restart > [UTC Jan 4 12:35:12] info : 'redis' stop: '/etc/init.d/redis-server stop' > [UTC Jan 4 12:35:42] error : 'redis' failed to stop (exit status -1) -- > '/etc/init.d/redis-server stop': Program timed out -- Stopping redis-server: > > [UTC Jan 4 12:37:37] error : 'redis_test' status failed (1) -- no output > [UTC Jan 4 12:37:37] info : 'olm2.olm.hu' swap usage check succeeded > [current swap usage=6.3%] > [UTC Jan 4 12:37:37] info : 'olm2.olm.hu' mem usage check succeeded > [current mem usage=7.0%] > > [UTC Jan 4 12:39:32] error : 'redis_test' status failed (1) -- no output > > I'd like monit to keep on trying. > Please advise. > > > SZÉPE Viktor, honlap üzemeltetés > https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/blob/master/CV.md > -- > +36-20-4242498 s...@szepe.net skype: szepe.viktor > Budapest, III. kerület > > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe: > https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
