I like using monit for the web interface where I can see running monitored processes. I recently upgraded a server to Ubuntu 16.04 and it is using systemd.
I have everything else running but I cannot find the right monit commands to control systemd...
I used to do
/etc/init.d/process start
or stop
or whatever. That obivously no longer works so I tried ...
systemctl start process
which didn't work either. What can I do here? My monitrc is pasted below...(old style which worked on 14.04)
check process nginx with pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/nginx start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/nginx stop"
check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid
start program = "etc/init.d/ssh start"
stop program = "etc/init.d/ssh stop"
