[Moin-user] Help with monit configuration

[Jocke at Mailinglist]

Hello,

I am a monit newbie and need some help to get it working.

I have four services that I need to monitor/start/restart

mysql (listening on port 3306)
newcs (listening on port 15000)
sasc (listening on port 5000)
mythbackend (listening on ports 6543 and 6544)

The dependency chain looks:
mythbackend => sasc => newcs
mythbackend => mysql

- So "sasc" can not be started until "newcs" are listening on 15000 and
"mythbackend" can not be started until "sasc" are listening on port 5000.
- Also I want "sasc" and "mythtv" to be restarted if "newcs" have been
restarted, etc

I have done a first fragment of configuration but it does't work that good.
Can you see anything that should be added/changed??

# ==[MythTV Group]=========================================
# --[MythTV]-----------------------------------------------
check process mythbackend with pidfile /var/run/mythbackend.pid
   start program = "/etc/init.d/mythbackend start"
   stop program  = "/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop"
   if failed port 6543 then restart
   if failed port 6544 then restart
   if 10 restarts within 15 cycles then timeout
   group mythtv
   mode active
   depends on mysql, sasc

# --[SASC]-----------------------------------------------
check process sasc with pidfile /var/run/sasc.pid
   start program = "/etc/init.d/sasc start"
   stop program  = "/etc/init.d/sasc stop"
   if failed port 5000 then restart
   if 10 restarts within 15 cycles then timeout
   group mythtv
   mode active
   depends on newcs

# --[NewCS]-----------------------------------------------
check process newcs with pidfile /var/run/newcs.pid
   start program = "/etc/init.d/newcs start"
   stop program  = "/etc/init.d/newcs stop"
   if failed port 15000 then restart
   if 10 restarts within 15 cycles then timeout
   group mythtv
   mode active
