Description of problem: Looks like current version of monit can't proper check file /proc/net/dev Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): monit-4.10.1-7.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a check to monitor the existence of a network interface: # Check for sixxs interface check file dev with path /proc/net/dev if not match "sixxs:" then exec "/sbin/service aiccu restart" 2. Restart monit 3. Restart network (service network restart), this usually remove the device "sixxs" created by aiccu. aiccu is still running, but IPv6 tunnel interface is gone. Actual results: monit does not restart aiccu Expected results: monit should restart aiccu, if interface "sixxs" is missing Additional info: Probably monit checks the file size before checking contents of file, but files in /proc/net always have the size 0
I can reproduce this bug, but it doesn't seem to be specific to paths in /proc - Monit doesn't seem to care about any "if match" commands I specify. Are you seeing this too?
Haven't test whether "if match" works at all...I only create one test according to the man page. If "if match" does not work at all, summary should be adjusted.
Could you report a bug upstream and link to this report please?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
