Dear All,
Recently i have been observing a situation that needs your expertise.
When monit is in stopped/disabled state (in systemd), i observed this behav=
ior:
1.
it's able to call "/usr/bin/monit start xxx"
2.
It's unable to call "/usr/bin/monit stop xxx" and returning message: Monit:=
the monit daemon is not running
Is there any reason why monit is able to perform "start", but not "stop" wh=
en the daemon is not running ?
I'm expecting that when monit daemon is not running, it's not possible to i=
nvoke start and stop command.
Thank you~
