RE: problem in installing monit on Red Hat Linux version - Fedoracore release 3

[Navin Kumar]

Great!!!!!
Monit is now working fine. Actually one needs to give 'monit start all'
command first to start all serviced and then the 'monit' command to
start
monit daemon.
Thanks for the quick update.
Martin, I have one suggestion here. The monit manual at url
http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/manual.php does not mention this
point
at all that one has to execute only 'monit' to start monit daemon. The
document says that one should either specify -d option or use set daemon
instruction in control file to start monit as daemon. This point should
be included in the doc also. What do you say?
Again thanks a lot for the quick update.
Thanks
Navin

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:

b/rc.monit?rev=1.10
