Package: monit Version: 1:4.10.1-4 Severity: normal Monit's state file path is hardcoded in /etc/init.d/monit:
ARGS="-d $CHECK_INTERVALS -c $CONFIG -s /var/lib/monit/monit.state" Check the docs - in the section "Monitoring Mode" they suggest: If you use Monit in a HA-cluster you should place the state file in a temporary filesystem so if the machine should crash and the stand-by machine take over services, any manual monitoring mode services that were started on the crashed machine won't be started on reboot. Use for example: set statefile /tmp/monit.state So a little flexibility would be appreciated here. How about setting it in /etc/defaults/monit instead? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (750, 'stable'), (70, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages monit depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny6 SSL shared libraries monit recommends no packages. monit suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
