Hi.
I am controlling monit through a PHP web interface and issue start and stop
commands to monit on an arbitrary set of processes.
I am seeing processes which are actually running but become unmonitored.
The scripts I use make some effort to run one and only one instance of a
process and check that the process ID actually corresponds to the monitored
process.
In an effort to track down this problem is I think the following may be
the root cause...
#######################################################
There appears to be a race condition when issuing monit start commands on
processes that are dependant on each other.
To illustrate...
Given processes b1 to b8 are dependant on process a.
If I stop all processes and then issue a separate start command for each
process, I see in monit.log that the process b1 is being started twice. Once
as a result of the dependency on process a, and once because of an explicit
start command.
I have attached some files to help reproduce this problem.
As an aside note that process "a" changes its status in the web interface
from "running" to "Changed" unnecessarily? I have made the poll time 60
seconds to illustrate this.
