RE: [monit] Unable to monitor lighttpd's spawn-fcgi

[Divakar Singh]

Right Martin,

The solution in this case is:

1. Do not launch the program directly from monitrc. Invoke a shell
script from monitrc, and the shell script first should set all the
environment variables (and also don't forget to export them. Simply take
all environment variables from "env" command, and place in this shell
script), and then invoke your program. Make sure when the process
starts, the process pid and the entry in pid file is same.

2. Inside this shell script and monitrc file, you MUST enter ALL file
names with its full path. For example, the program to be monitored (and
pid file, if you make use of this in the shell script) should be invoked
using full absolute path, even if its path is there in PATH environment
variable.

Hope this helps.

Take Care
-Divakar.

When monit starts the program, it sets spartan environment variables as 
sandbox ...  the problem will be most probably here - you'll need to 
check the environment.
