if you're using a relatively recent monit (i think 5.3+), you can use procmatch to monitor services without a pid file.

e.g.

check process zookeeper matching zookeeper
...

you can test your regex using monit procmatch expr at the command line.

Hi,

I typically would use the below to monitor zookeeper on ubnutu 12.04.

check process zookeeper
  with pidfile "/var/run/zookeeper.pid"
  start program = "/etc/init.d/zookeeper start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/zookeeper stop"

Problem is there is no pid file

I can get the pid using "pidof java".

So..how to a make monit work with pidof in lieu of "with pidfile "/var/run/zookeeper.pid"?
