Re: [monit] how to restart a second process when a monitored process dies?

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

you can use service dependencies - see monit manual for more details:

http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#dependencies

example:

--8<--

  check process a ...

  check process b ...

    depends on a

--8<--

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

   I have two legacy daemon programs, A and B. There are some special requirements on their start sequence.

   1) A should be started before B.

   2) Whenever you need to restart B, you have to restart A as well. Otherwise the new B process can not work correctly with the existing A.

   I'm using Monit to monitor B, but I don't know how to configure Monit such that whenever it find B is dead, it will restart A before it tries to start B. Any suggestion? Thanks.
