Package: monit Version: 1:5.20.0-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
monit cannot monitor 'postfix' due to a misconfiguration. monit looks in the wrong place for the 'bin' file excerpt from /etc/monit/conf-available/postfix: check file master_bin with path /usr/lib/postfix/master group postfix include /etc/monit/templates/rootbin '/usr/lib/postfix/master' does not exist. It should read: /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/master when changing to the correct path the monitoring is OK. -- Package-specific info: Monit config file /etc/monit/monitrc is *NOT* readable by reportbug. Please, consider to rerun reportbug as root and *carefully* examine reportbug's output (e.g., monitrc content), before sending it out.
