Please run exactly this command without any additional argument:

  monit -c /home/ritesh/monit-4.6/monitrc

When you want to start monit in daemon mode, you must *not* use any argument. Look for example on the monit init script:

Hi Ben
Thanks for quick update. I am attaching the monitrc control file which I am using.
I am also attaching the things I get on console when I start monit with
verbose option. It confirms the starting of monit in daemon mode.
I have already set the logfile as specified by you but it does not show
any error on start. Monit starts without error but when I do 'monit
status' it gives me - 'monit: no status available -- the monit daemon is
not running'.
Thanks
Navin

Hello
I am trying to run Monit on Red Hat Linux version - Fedora core
release 3.  I extracted the downloaded gunzip file and then ran
./configure, make and make install. All these steps executes fine
without any error. It creates an executable monit under /usr/local/bin
as per documentation. After this I start monit with command 'monit -v
start all' in daemon mode. The verbose confirms the starting in the
daemon mode. The start does not show any error.  But when I do 'monit
status' or 'monit summary' I get: monit daemon is not  running. This
is a problem as to why monit fails to run as daemon. I read the
documentation of monit about platforms. It does not mention any such
problem.  But I see this as some compatability problem with the Linux
platform I am using.  It seems that that the monit script fails on
trying to run monit as daemon on OS.  I am clueless because start does
show any error. Can someone suggest the reason of the problem. Thanks Navin


Navin,

I run monit on fedora core3 without any trouble.

Could you post your /etc/monitrc file, so that we may see if it is a
configuration issue?

You could also add "set logfile /var/log/monit.log" to your monitrc to
enable logging - it might give you more information.
