Re: Capture process stdout when inited by Monit

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Appending stdout of a processs to a log file has always been possible. Just 
wrap the program in a shell and simply pipe the output as you want. For 
instance, 

 start program = "/usr/bin/bash -c '2>&1 1>>/some/file /bin/ls'"

I should also mention that we recently have added a 'check program' option to 
Monit. This allows Monit to execute and test the exit value of the program. If 
the program fails, Monit will grab stderr and make that part of the alert 
message and log it.
