Re: Syntax error

[Martin Pala]

"mmonit" is reserved word (for "set mmonit" statement) ... you need to quote it 
when used in the uid/gid options:

--8<--
check process mmonit with pidfile /usr/local/mmonit/logs/mmonit.pid
 start program = "/usr/local/mmonit/bin/mmonit" as uid "mmonit" and gid "mmonit"
 stop program = "/usr/local/mmonit/bin/mmonit stop" as uid "mmonit" and gid 
"mmonit"
--8<--

Regards,
Martin
