To add to my last comment, you can download the monit sourcecode here: https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/monit-5.25.2.tar.gz
You can specify the non-default destination for the monitrc config file with this: ./configure --sysconfdir /etc/monit ./make Then you can make this into a .deb file with: checkinstall Then you just `apt-get remove monit` to remove the bad monit installation and `dpkg -i monit_5.25.2-1_amd64.deb` to install the one you just built. So this version of monit will accept commands like `monit unmonitor all`, etc. However, running `systemctl restart monit` will not start the daemon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786910 Title: Latest patch breaks command line 'restart all' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monit/+bug/1786910/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
