Monit did not restart mysql

[frwa onto]

Hi All,

        We have this in our monit.conf. Earlier it was working smoothly when mysql goes down. Recently I just tried to stop mysqld and the monit did not restart it. But in the top I can see monit is running and I am using upstart so I just kill and it respawn again. Below is part of the config file.

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

   start program = "/etc/init.d/mysqld start"

   stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysqld stop"

   if failed host 127.0.1.1 port 3306 protocol mysql then restart

   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

Regards,

Frwa.
