Package: mon Version: 1.3.2-1 Severity: normal When an alert script hangs (EG sendxmpp goes into an infinite loop and hangs mailxmpp.alert) the main mon process stops normal operation and doesn't send other alerts or even shutdown normally.
It should have some basic controls in place to minimise such problems (EG set a limit of 1 minute of CPU time for sending an alert or running a monitor script) and also keep operating normally if an alert script hangs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mon depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libtime-period-perl 1.20-8.2 ii mon-client 1.2.0-2 Versions of packages mon recommends: ii bc 1.06.95-9+b3 pn fping <none> pn libauthen-pam-perl <none> ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.35-1 pn libcrypt-ssleay-perl <none> ii libfilesys-df-perl 0.92-6+b1 ii libmail-imapclient-perl 3.38-1 ii libnet-dns-perl 1.07-1 pn libnet-ldap-perl <none> pn libnet-telnet-perl <none> ii libproc-processtable-perl 0.53-2 pn libsnmp-perl <none> pn libstatistics-descriptive-perl <none> pn libtime-parsedate-perl <none> ii perl-modules-5.24 [libnet-perl] 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 ii swaks 20170101.0-1 Versions of packages mon suggests: ii mon-contrib 1.0+dfsg-4 -- Configuration Files: /etc/mon/mon.cf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
