[monit] Re: Trying to run ferret without success

[John Dixon]

I don't know if it would have worked in your instance, but I've launched
monit verbose and Interactive.  It spits out better stuff to the screen
that I have seen elsewhere.  It seems like it might put better log
information out there if you add verbose to the init script that starts
it.  Not sure if that helps, but it's what I do.
