Re: [Devmon] devmon won't run in daemon mode

Sharing the knowledge.  The problem with this one was  /var/run/devmon
directory wasn't created, so it couldn't create its own pid file.
That's all.

I love this product, I just wish the documentation/debugging of it was a
little more verbose...

Subject: [Devmon] devmon won't run in daemon mode

 

Hi all.  I have devmon and hobbit running on a PC running Suse linux.
Everything is working great.  I was getting ready to setup hobbit and
devmon on a server.  Same exact setup, including OS, except hardware.

 

Hobbit is up and running on the new server, and devmon runs as well from
command line.  But it will not run in daemon mode via the startup
script.

I made sure and checked everything in debug mode, the config, etc, and I
still can't get devmon to start as a daemon.

 

So if I run devmon -f --readbbhosts, it runs and reports back to the
screen, goes to sleep for 60 seconds and keeps on polling.

But if I try and start /etc/init.d/devmon start, devmon never even runs.

 

On my other server, it runs and one of the devmon processes is called
devmon[master]

 

Has anyone else run into problems getting devmon to start?
