[mythtv-users] Trouble with monit

[Harry Devine]

I've been using monit to monitor my mythbackend process, as I've seen 
that it tends to segfault on me whenever I record this one particular 
show on one particular channel.  Tonight, I went into Mythweb to check 
on another recording and it said the backend wasn't running.  I then saw 
that both monit and mythbackend were dead.  I restarted the backend 
fine, but the monit process won't start.  I start it and it says it 
started, but when I immediately check it with "service monit status" it 
says it's dead with subsys locked.

I see that there's a /etc/monit.conf file present, but it's completely 
commented out.  I have a .monitrc file with my mysql and mythbackend 
processes listed in it to look out for (saw the example on a post in 
this list).  Nothing seems to show up in either /var/log/messages, and 
/var/log/monit.log shows "monit daemon with pid [5488] killed" and 
"Monit stopped", both on May 6th.

Any ideas on where else I can look?

Thanks,
Harry
