[mythtv-users] Monit and mythbuntu

[John H]

I'm using monit under Fedora but it should be similar. First of all,
did you add this line to the /etc/monit.conf file near the bottom
under includes.

include /etc/.monitrc  <- you'll want to change this to the path of your file.

After monit loads then it's use the setup in the .monitrc file.

Also, if you want to run the program like the frontend under a
username. I added "group mythtv" without the quotes and you'll want to
replace mythtv with your username. I added this right before the start
program command. One other thing, the monitrc file for myth that you
can find on the web monitors the pid and the http port. I took the
http port monitor out because when mythfilldatabase runs monit thinks
the backend has stopped. I don't think it'll hurt anything but if you
have email notification on you'll get a bunch of emails. I'm just
taking my chances on the pid only but it hasn't failed but then again
my backend doesn't really crash.
