Re: Monit can't restart Courier IMAP?

[Randy Bias]

Probably the exit code.  Trying running the script by hand then typing:

echo $?

If you get anything besides 0 then the script is not exiting nicely.  
Trying running it by hand with  "sh -xv" to determine which step is 
actually generating the exit code.  Then adjust the script.
