my process does not start

[Gaurav Nangia]

Hello,

I am trying to start my perl code using monit but it does not start.  The
same command from the command line works fine.  The logfile says the
following -
address@hidden opsworks]# cat ./log/monit.log
[EDT Aug  8 13:38:55] Starting monit daemon
[EDT Aug  8 13:38:55] Starting monit HTTP server at portnumber 2812
[EDT Aug  8 13:38:55] 'trapd' is not running.
[EDT Aug  8 13:38:55] Start: (trapd) /mspi/opsworks/OWtrapd.pl
[EDT Aug  8 13:39:03] 'trapd' is not running.
[EDT Aug  8 13:39:03] Start: (trapd) /mspi/opsworks/OWtrapd.pl
[EDT Aug  8 13:39:11] 'trapd' is not running.
[EDT Aug  8 13:39:11] Start: (trapd) /mspi/opsworks/OWtrapd.pl
[EDT Aug  8 13:39:19] *Alert* process 'trapd' timed out and will not be
checked
anymore.
[EDT Aug  8 15:10:48] Stopping monit HTTP server
[EDT Aug  8 15:10:48] monit daemon with pid [22452] killed

The gist of my control file is as follows -

check trapd with pidfile /mspi/opsworks/var/OWtrapd.pid
        start program = "/mspi/opsworks/OWtrapd.pl"

Can anybody help me please...

Thanks,
Gaurav
