Showing pid and ppid

[Santiago Dobon]

Hi

I have recently installed and configured monit on a Sparc-Solaris 8 
machine. Monit checks some process correctly, but does not show the pid 
nor the ppid of those process. Does the pid file need to be written on 
any special format?

I have modified the file validate.c to include the line "s->inf->pid= 
pid"  and it works OK, now showing the pid.

I still have not found out what to do for the ppid. Any idea?

Compiling the same brandnew 4.5.1 version on a PC-Linux I get the 
correct pid and other information such as the CPU and memory usage. What 
could I do to achieve this information on the Sparc-Solaris 8 machine?

Here is my check_process function:

/**
* Validate a given process service s. Events are posted according to
* its configuration. In case of a fatal event FALSE is returned.
*/
int check_process(Service_T s) {

pid_t  pid= -1;
Port_T pp= NULL;
Resource_T pr= NULL;

ASSERT(s);

/* Test for running process */
if(!(pid= Util_isProcessRunning(s))) {
  /* Reset the service info object to prevent false data in the first 
run */
  Util_resetInfo(s);
  Event_post(s, EVENT_NONEXIST, TRUE, s->action_NONEXIST,
    "'%s' process is not running", s->name);
  return FALSE;
} else {
  Event_post(s, EVENT_NONEXIST, FALSE, s->action_NONEXIST,
    "'%s' process is running with pid %d", s->name, (int)pid);
  s->inf->pid= pid;
}
.
.
.

Thanks. Santiago.
