Hi
I have monit v5.0 and CentOS release 4.8 (Final).
I try monitor Lotus Domino web server with the following config file:
check host myserver with address myserver
start program "/etc/init.d/domino start" with timeout 300 seconds
stop program "/etc/init.d/domino stop" with timeout 150 seconds
if failed host 192.168.1.10 port 80 protocol http 10 times within 10 cycles then restart
if 6 restarts within 60 cycles then timeout
If the web server is up, monit status page shows:
Remote Host 'myserver'
status online with all services
monitoring status monitored
port response time 0.001s to 192.168.1.10:80 [HTTP via TCP]
data collected Thu Nov 5 20:09:55 2009
as it should.
However if the server is down, monit states:
Remote Host 'myserver'
status online with all services
monitoring status monitored
port response time -1.000s to 192.168.1.10:80 [HTTP via TCP]
data collected Thu Nov 5 20:10:57 2009
I.e. the only difference is that port response time is -1.000s. But monit believes that the server is up and doesn’t try to reboot it. How come? What am I missing?

P.S: The config file doesn’t use PID file as Domino doesn’t have a single process. Instead it spawns typically approximately 200 processes.
