Description of problem: The startup init script for monit relies on local defined variables: rundir, pidfile, user, group and prog. Monit is run by root by default. If someone wants to change the user and group used to run monit, the init script must be modified. A better approach would be reading the contents from /etc/sysconfig/monit if this file exists after the definition of those variables, allowing the user to override their default values. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.14 How reproducible: Reinstalling or updating the package will smash init script file, since it's not a configuration file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change monit init script and adjust its files and directories permissions in order to successfully run it as a non-root user. Configure sudo as needed to allow monit to restart monitored services when needed. 2. Reinstall monit. 3. Open /etc/init.d/monit Actual results: User-made changes to the init script are lost, so changes to user and group running monit are not preserved. Expected results: It would be desirable if sysadmins could preserve some changes made to the behavior of the init script. Additional info: Please, consider modifying monit init script to include the following code after the definition of the aforementioned variables. if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/monit ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/monit fi
