Re: Monit service not logging stdout

[Rory Toma]

monit in daemon mode, as described in the Stevens book, forks, setsids and closes stdout, stdin and stderr, hence, you won't get anything from stdout.

I have a simple monit service set up, so I have something to keep my node.js server running. The service works fine, but I can't get stdout to log to a file. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, if I call the command directly it works fine, but Monit must be wrapping it somehow that stdout is not being written to the file properly. Here is my monit.d script:

check host nodechat with address 127.0.0.1

start program = "/usr/local/bin/node /home/node/chat_blog/chat.js > /var/log/nodechat.log"

stop program = "/usr/bin/pkill -f 'node /home/node/chat_blog/chat.js'"

if failed port 8000 protocol HTTP

request /

with timeout 10 seconds

then restart

If I execute "/usr/local/bin/node /home/node/chat_blog/chat.js > /var/log/nodechat.log" directly (without the quotes) it works fine.
