Re: [monit] monit cannot start scripts: "failed to start"

[Eric Pailleau]

Hi,
When launched, no environnement variables come with.
It is a very common issue in monit.

I guess monit autors may highlight this a bit more in documentation.

you have to load your env by doing a
program = "/bin/su - user -c '/usr/local/bin/ruby ... ' "

Hope that can help.
