Re: Monit - Tomcat failed to start

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

Monit sets spartan environment when execution the program (for security 
reasons):  only "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" is set, all other 
variables are dropped.

If you've added the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_PID to startup.sh, it is likely your 
tomcat startup script depends also on some additional environment variables 
(other then JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_PID).

You can log the start/stop script output by wrapping it for example like this:
--8<--
start program = "/bin/bash -c 
'/home/s398721/apache-tomcat-7.0.27/bin/startup.sh >  /tmp/start.out 2>&1'" 
with uid s398721 gid s398721
--8<--

Regards,
Martin
