Can I use dollar sign in paths in monit config file?

[Sergio Trejo]

Hi,

I was wondering why it is illegal (according to monit when I run it on the command line with the -t (syntax check) option) to preface a path with $HOME, such as:

set logfile $HOME/monit/my.log

I guess monit doesn't parse $HOME and expand shell variables such as $HOME?

Any suggestions or work arounds?

Thanks,
