I did check the logs and it did show the error when the process was not
running. Then in the next line it would say:
monit: Start or stop method not defined -- process tcpaprscvt
It would not start automatically. But it would work when I used the
start service button on the browser interface. Based on the log message,
I began to wonder if monit needed to have a stop method present in
monitrc, even though it only needed to run the start method. I added a
stop method, which was just the same method that I used in start,
because I figured it wasn't going to have to use it anyway, it only uses
the stop method if you select stop or restart. After I did that, it
began to work properly, automatically starting the process when it
determined it had stopped. I belileve that solves my problem for now.
Thanks for the suggestions.

You can run monit in verbose mode with -v options and check the monit
logs. When the file is not available, then monit should report error.
You can also check the system logs and/or mnttab using monit's content
test and check remote services using tcp/udp tests. You can also use
hint no. 13 from monit's FAQ: http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/faq.php

I have a mail server that mount nfs mounts from a file server. I
would like to be notified if/when the file server is unreachable by
the mail server. I tried using a token file with the following:
# /homes/home01 is the nfs mount
check file home01 with path /homes/home01/monit.token
group hyper
But that did not work. 'monit summary' still showed it as accessible
even though the file server was offline.
I would appreciate any suggestions and/or strategies for monitoring
an nfs mount. Thanks.
