Re: Execution failed

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

Monit <= 5.7 purges the environment variables and sets only spartan 
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" + set of MONIT_* variables (documented in 
the manual) ... this was done to run the program in a sandbox and not pass any 
extra informations from parent process environment to child, but caused 
problems in some cases, where the script depends on environment settings.

For example your script doesn't use absolute paths ... if "java" is not in the 
above mentioned PATH, then it won't be found.

=> Monit upgrade to 5.8 or later should fix it ... alternatively you can load 
the environment in the script or define required environment variables and/or 
use absolute path.

Regards,
Martin
