Re: [monit] dependance not configured correctly

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

the pid change rule most probably won't do the trick, since it is
executed only when the service is running, but pid changed out of monit 
control. You should add the freeradius monitoring enable/disable to 
postgres startup script and set the freeradius monitoring mode to manual.
