Public bug reported: After upgrading from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS, we noticed that our monit service failed to start. We expected "sudo systemctl status monit" to show that the daemon is running, but instead we got:-
Started monit.service - Pro-active monitoring utility for unix systems. monit.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE monit.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Our machine has monit version 1:5.33.0-2build2 We figured out a workaround by altering this line in the "/usr/lib/systemd/system/monit.service" file:- ProtectHome=yes When we changed this to "ProtectHome=read-only", monit then started as expected under systemd. ** Affects: monit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2072681 Title: The monit daemon fails when attempting to start under systemd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monit/+bug/2072681/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
