apologies I top posted in my last reply, please ignore it and use this
one if you wish:

thanks for your response. I ran the commands you gave but I don't know
whet the output means:
# ls -l /proc/$(cat /var/run/stream.pid)/stat
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 Nov 30 09:06 /proc/6715/stat

# ls -l /var/run/stream.pid
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Nov 30 09:05 /var/run/stream.pid

what permissions does monit need? Is it the stream.pid file that's at
fault here?
