Fwd: Upgraded from 5.4 to 5.10 and everything started to break

[Roman Kournjaev]

Hi 

I have upgraded to monit 5.10 yesterday and most of my startup scripts that monit was monitoring stopped working. 

Thats an example script .

So I started to patch things :

check process main_loop

matching "python poll.py"

   start program = "/bin/bash -c 'cd /opt/wondermall-scrapers/code; /usr/bin/python poll.py &'" with timeout 60 seconds

   stop program = "/bin/bash -c 'kill $(ps aux | grep "[p]ython poll.py" | awk "{print \$2}")'"

if uptime > 1 hours then restart

But the stop command also fails and I am getting the following mail back form monit : 

Monit alert main_loop at Tue, 11 Nov 2014 18:48:37 on full-scraper-dev-9d66.c.wondermall-dev.internal,

failed to stop (exit status 123) -- /bin/bash:
Usage:
 kill [options] <pid> [...]

Options:
 <pid> [...]            send signal to every <pid> listed
 -<signal>, -s, --signal <signal>
                        specify the <signal> to be sent
 -l, --list=[<signal>]  list all signal names, or

Dutifully,
Monit

Of course that works when executing in simple bash , someone know what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks
