Description Fredrik Rambris 2008-12-07 00:29:45 UTC 
Created attachment 326023 [details]
Updates monitor.h to define MONITRC as "monit.conf" instead of "monitrc"

Description of problem:
The RPM package installs the config file (monitrc) into /etc/monit.conf. The monit binary looks for /etc/monitrc. When running monit to control the running instance one has to specify /etc/monit.conf explicitly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start monit
2. run  monit status
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
Either let the file be called /etc/monitrc or patch the software on build (patch attached) so that it looks for monit.conf instead of monitrc
Comment 1 Stewart Adam 2008-12-23 03:22:09 UTC 
Thanks for the patch. I've submitted monit-4.10.1-8 for building which incorporates this patch as well as sets some more reasonable defaults (logging, daemon mode, includes /etc/monit.d) - let me know if the problem's fixed.
Comment 2 Fredrik Rambris 2009-07-18 16:26:06 UTC 
Confirmed working. Thank you.
