[monit] checking process at startup

[Jovan Kostovski]

Hi,

I have a process which takes more than 1 monit cycle to start.
When its starting I get the following error messages:
process is not running
failed to start
does not exist
started

Is it possible to specify the time in monit cycles which is needed
for process to start in which the process should not be checked?

I've seen in the monit web interface that there is a parameter:
"Check service  every 1 cycle"
How can I set this parameter to value other than 1, and to be process specific?
This is not good solution, because only the starting of the process is
time consuming,
but if I set monit to check the service every 3rd or 4th cycle that
would be satisfying.


Here is the service config part:

check process soapserver with pidfile /vas/pid/sms_soap.pid
  start program = "/etc/ha.d/resource.d/ha-ss start"
  stop  program = "/etc/ha.d/resource.d/ha-ss stop"
  mode manual
  group cluster
  depends on queuemgr


And an excerpt of the monit.log when restarting the service:
