Re: Problem with running monit from init and using 'kill -9' on linux

[rory]

Well, at least on Linux it does restart, sort of...

On linux, monit shows up as 3 processes (1 for each thread) if you are
running the http server. So, the thread that runs the http server fails to
start, but the other 2 threads start up successfully. So, from init's
point of view, monit is running. This is probably a case where if any of
the threads fail to start, we need to have all of monit go away, not just
a single thread.
