Description Jordan 2011-02-09 00:21:33 UTC

Description of problem:

If running the distributed monit, it checks process name instead of pid file, and thus creates a problem when trying to run a sandboxed version. See example below. If monit minded the pid instead of the process name, as it does in certain other distros, this would not be a problem. 


How reproducible: Fully reproducible 


Steps to Reproduce:

After a first boot, monit is running:

Sandbox Server [root.179.24:~] # ps uxaww|grep monit
root      1665  0.0  0.0  13396  1148 ?        Sl   18:52   0:00 /opt/rightscale/sandbox/bin/monit -c /opt/rightscale/etc/monitrc
root      2580  0.0  0.0   1856   508 pts/0    R+   18:53   0:00 grep monit
Sandbox Server [root.179.24:~] # yum install monit

If one runs a "monit restart", the sandbox'd version gets killed.
