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

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

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.
