Re: "Execution failed" on a process that is working fine

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

can you try to run monit in verbose mode (using the -v option) and send 
the output? (it will go either to monit log or to the terminal of used 
with -I option as well).

How long is the monit poll cycle? ('set daemon ...' statement or -d option?)


Thanks,

Martin
