Re: ignore pid file changes

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

the clean way is to restat the service via monit after the deploy like this:

    /usr/bin/monit restart app_thin

If you want to just suppres the alert on PID change, you can set the filter 
option for the alert statement:

   set alert address@hidden but not on { pid ppid }  #note: send all alerts to 
address@hidden except on PID or PPID change

Regards,
Martin
