Problem starting my monit

[sukbir singh]

Dear All,
I have this file monit.conf in my /etc so I set my mail server and set the receiver.

1. I set the mail server
2. set alert ***** 
3. I un-comment the the message format

Quote:

set mail-format {
from: address@hidden
subject: monit alert -- $EVENT $SERVICE
message: $EVENT Service $SERVICE
Date: $DATE
Action: $ACTION
Host: $HOST
Description: $DESCRIPTION

Your faithful employee,
Monit
}

Lastly I added this line to check my java process which is ran as a daemon using yajsw.

Quote:

check process commServer with pidfile /var/run/wrapper.commServer8000.pid # check your app pid
if failed port 8000 protocol HTTP 
then alert

So thereafter I ran this command 

Quote:

/etc/init.d/monit start
Starting monit: monit: Cannot find the control file at ~/.monitrc, /etc/monitrc, /etc/monitrc, /usr/local/etc/monitrc or at ./monitrc
[FAILED]

The I change the monit.conf to monitrc

Quote:

/etc/init.d/monit start
Starting monit: monit: Error opening the idfile '/var/monit/id' -- No such file or directory
Starting monit daemon with http interface at [localhost:2812]
[ OK ]

Then lastly I run this to check if monit running but nothing either too. So where could be my mistake?

Quote:

/etc/init.d/monit start
Starting monit: monit: Error opening the idfile '/var/monit/id' -- No such file or directory
Starting monit daemon with http interface at [localhost:2812]
[ OK ]
