Re: Monit state file version warning - auto recover/delete bad state file ?

Hello Ani,
are you installing a new version, are you updating some times ago?

You can stop monit and delete the monit status file. After you start
monit again, the status file will created again.
If you get the error some times later again, something is going wrong.

With regards,
Lutz

p.s.
See https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#FILES
to get some more information about the used files.

I delete the monit status file all the time I update monit or I kill the
monit process.
