Hello,

I am running Monit 5.17.1 on Ubuntu 14.04, in some rare occasions
I see that following error in the log:

2020-11-17 18:47:22.347 monit[2954]: system statistic error -- cannot
read /proc/3560/stat

And then, monit thinks that my daemon is not running and restarts it!
This restart triggers some unwanted other actions and I want to avoid it.
Can anyone please help why this can occur and how this can be prevented?

Thanks.
