Did you use a debian package, or did you compile monit yourself from source?

If the former, then it sounds very much like a packaging problem.

Furthermore, what exact version of monit are you running?

Looking at the source code of 4.10.1, I see that exactly the same logic is
used for reading the config file with or without -t. The difference the -t
flag makes is to *stop* monit from running after it has read the config
file.

...
  if(! parse(Run.controlfile)) {

    exit(1);

  }

  /*
   * Stop and report success if we are just validating the Control
   * file syntax. The previous parse statement exits the program with
   * an error message if a syntax error is present in the control
   * file.
   */
  if(Run.testing) {

    LogInfo("Control file syntax OK\n");
    exit(0);

  }
...

Brian.
