Re: Monit: 'Matching' functionality isn't working

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

The programs or scrips given to start, stop and restart are executed by Monit 
using exec, not a shell, and while it is perfectly fine to wrap the command in 
bash as you do, I would recommend to just use 

start program = “/mnt1/build/seeing/build/bin/run.sh”

The ’nohup’ and ‘&’ character used in your command should be removed as it 
redundant and also make bash fork unnecessary and create a new process. When 
Monit runs the program given in start, it will basically do the same as nohup 
and put the program in the background. No need to do this twice, maybe this is 
even the reason for the problem?

More help with debugging a program started from Monit can be found here,
