I am getting syntax errors when I try to check the exit status of a bash script using monit's "check program". If I run the bash script manually, it doesn't error. But if I do monit reload with my monit check program in the config, monit gives me errors.
Here's my current monit .conf file --
check program myscript with path "/etc/monit.d/script_to_run.sh"
if status != 0 then alert
If I change it to this to make sure monit uses bash to parse the file...
check program myscript with path "/usr/bash /etc/monit.d/script_to_run.sh"
if status != 0 then alert
Then I get this error
Warning: Program does not exist: '"/bin/bash /etc/monit.d/script_to_run.sh"'
Even a test script results in errors -- If I have this in script_to_run.sh:
#!/bin/bash
exit 0
Monit will complain
Error: syntax error 'exit'
If I have this in script_to_run.sh:
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello"
Monit will complain
Error: syntax error 'echo'
For reference -- I have monit 5.4, have followed the "check program" example in the man monit doc, and am able to configure/use monit "check process..." just fine on the same server.
