Re: Tomcat and Monit

[AJ Weber]

Not sure what you're running into, but I ended up making sure the start/stop script for Tomcat was creating a PID file (check online documentation on that, but I believe it's as easy as exporting the CATALINA_PID var).  Added that as the "primary check" (with pidfile).

Additionally used:
     if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 8080 protocol http REQUEST "/favicon.ico" retry 3 ...
as a supplemental check.  I keep the retry in there, because I have seen it hiccup, even on localhost (don't know why).

This has been pretty solid for me.

Hello all,

 i have a current Monit config that simply restarts Tomcat if it quits, but it seems that i am having multiple Tomcat PIDs whenever Monit restarts the service. my question would be.

1.] how do i kill or make sure the PID is killed before i execute the restarting of the service?

i have this right now

check host tomcat with address localhost

stop program = "/sbin/service tomcat stop"

start program = "/sbin/service tomcat start"

if failed port 8080 and protocol http

then start
