Re: Monit restarting Apache stops but doesn't start

[Martin Pala]

Based on the config it seems that the monitored apache runs on the same host 
(otherwise the start+stop won't be able to do anything with it) => it will be 
better to switch to "check process" - Monit will be able to check whether the 
process was started and will wait for the start to finish - the "check host" is 
remote check which has no control of the remote process, it will call the start 
script but won't wait for the process to start so you'll see the result during 
next cycle.

Regards,
Martin
