Hello all, So, I''ve been using monit with mongrel for a while now, since the 0.3.x days (I think it was). It used to work fine, but now I seem to be having some trouble. I''m currently using mongrel 1.0.1 and I am using the same monit configuration I''ve always been using, yet everytime monit should restart mongrel, I get "Execution failed". For the start command, I originally used the following: ------------ start program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid''" ------------ But then monit started giving me execution failed errors and when I tried to run it manually I got a "PID already exists" error. So, I tried the following: ------------ start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8001.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid''" ------------ Which just adds the rm at the start. Yet, monit still can''t manage to restart mongrel. I have no idea why. This is my full monit file ------------ ##### mongrel 8000 - GoHuman ##### check process mongrel-8000 with pidfile /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8000.pid start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8000.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8000 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8000.pid''" stop program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8000.pid''" if totalmem is greater than 80.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert # eating up memory? if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process? if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then restart # bad, bad, bad if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout # something is wrong, call the sys-admin group gohuman ##### mongrel 8001 - GoHuman ##### check process mongrel-8001 with pidfile /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8001.pid start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8001.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8001 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid''" stop program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8001.pid''" if totalmem is greater than 80.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert # eating up memory? if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process? if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then restart # bad, bad, bad if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout # something is wrong, call the sys-admin group gohuman ##### mongrel 8002 - GoHuman ##### check process mongrel-8002 with pidfile /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8002.pid start program = "/bin/rm -f /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/shared/log/mongrel.8002.pid && /usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start -d -e production -p 8002 -a 127.0.0.1 -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8002.pid''" stop program = "/usr/bin/su admin -c ''/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop -c /home/admin/webapps/gohuman/current -P log/mongrel.8002.pid''" if totalmem is greater than 80.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert # eating up memory? if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process? if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then restart # bad, bad, bad if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout # something is wrong, call the sys-admin group gohuman ------------ Thanks, -carl -- EPA Rating: 3000 Lines of Code / Gallon (of coffee)
If you''re not using mongrel_cluster, you might want to look into using it. If you are, I would suggest rewriting your monit scripts to deal with the new pid file location, and such. The new mongrel_cluster can handle the leftover pid files, and will clean them up before attempting to restart.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this, however it still didn''t work. I have finally figured out why it wasn''t working for me. There were 2 reasons. 1) Mongrel_cluster was not dealing with directories correctly. It would try to find the pid file in log/<pid_file> relative to where the command was called, not the directory specified in the configuration file. 2) My mongrel_rails command is located in /usr/local/bin and monit specifies a "spartan" path (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin). I hacked this by linking /usr/bin/mongrel_rails to /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails -carl On 3/27/07, Corey Donohoe <atmos at atmos.org> wrote:> Upload your mongrel_cluster.yml here > http://monitr.atmos.org/generators/mongrel_cluster > > sudo gem install mongrel_cluster --source > http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ && gem cleanup > > That should get you going in the right direction. > > > On 3/26/07, Carl Lerche < carl.lerche at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > How would I tell mongrel_cluster to restart a single mongrel instance > > (if only one of them failed?
