Why don't you download the monit 4.10 beta and help us out and test
it? It supports SMTP authentication [1].  There are no known issues
with the beta. You can find it here, http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/
download/

Wow, what a mess I just made.

I installed the RPM package from Dag Wieers repository. I am using CentOS 4.1 and everything was fine. So to install the BETA version I removed Dag's package by doing:

rpm -e monit

Which uninstalled monit.

Then I did a wget of the source (4.10 beta) , compiled and installed. But it seems monit wasnt working well, it didnt have a pid file and couldnt recognize the services.I couldnt even do /etc/init.d/monit start

So I went ahead to uninstall monit and within the 4.10 directory did:

make uninstall

Perfect.

Went ahead and reinstalled the RPM package and now I have my monit pid file but with a broken monit:

-bash: /usr/local/bin/monit/: no such file or directory

I still have the configuration file and I can do:

/etc/init.d/monit start
/etc/init.d/monit restart
/etc/init.d/monit stop

But it does nothing, no web interface, no nothing.

Could you guys PLEASE help me get this working again? I just need to have this as stable as possible (why did I tried to get 4.10???).

So, to make this plea short:

1.- Need to get a complete uninstall/removal of monit
2.- Then a fresh install of monit 4.9 with the RPM package

Hopefully I will have this working in no time.

Thanks again so much for your patience and help,

Ok, just an update (sorry for the spam)

Since bash couldnt find monit I did wget monit-4.9 compiled it and copied monit to /usr/local/bin/monit/

So that fixed that problem and now I have monit running.

BUT

Monit doesnt start/stop/restart correctly (although I see OK when I try) when doing /etc/init.d/

It just starts by:

monit -v

And it shows that monit doesnt have a PID file at /var/run/monit.pid

Any ideas to this whole mess I created?
