Re: Monit zombie processes

[Martin Pala]

Which monit version it is? Was any coredump created by monit?

The 5.12.1 fixed problem where monit may crash if the hostname of the machine 
where monit is running cannot be resolved. There is also fix for SSL checks in 
development version, you can get it here: 
http://www.mmonit.com/tmp/monit-5.12.2_20150312.tar.gz

To compile:

        tar -xzf monit-5.12.2_20150312.tar.gz
        cd monit-5.12.2_20150312
        ./configure
        make

Regards,
Martin
