I don't even know what it is, I just provided a reliable and easy way to get PID of running process

Check if the process is running and / or the port the gameserver is running on is opened (gameserver is online). That's what I did.

Now I have 2 scripts - start.sh and stop.sh. The first one start the server, the second one stop the server. When the scripts are executed in terminal in linux, they work correctly.

/bin/sh /home/dido/user/stop.sh
/bin/sh /home/dido/user/start.sh

But in Monit, only the stop script when I press Stop Service works. The start script failed and the output in Monit is "Execution failed" as you can see in the log.

Execution of start.sh:

[EEST Aug 14 12:32:15] info     : 'gameserver' start on user request
[EEST Aug 14 12:32:15] info     : monit daemon at 25821 awakened
[EEST Aug 14 12:32:15] info     : Awakened by User defined signal 1
[EEST Aug 14 12:32:15] info     : 'gameserver' start: /bin/sh
[EEST Aug 14 12:32:18] error    : 'gameserver' failed to start
[EEST Aug 14 12:32:18] info     : 'gameserver' start action done

Execution of stop.sh:

[EEST Aug 14 12:53:14] info     : 'gameserver' stop on user request
[EEST Aug 14 12:53:14] info     : monit daemon at 25821 awakened
[EEST Aug 14 12:53:14] info     : Awakened by User defined signal 1
[EEST Aug 14 12:53:14] info     : 'gameserver' stop: /bin/sh
[EEST Aug 14 12:53:14] info     : 'gameserver' stop action done

Everything seems good in Monit:

Process Name = gameserver
Pid file = /home/dido/user/pid.pid
Monitoring mode = active
Start program = '/bin/sh /home/dido/user/start.sh' timeout 3 second(s)
Stop program = '/bin/sh /home/dido/user/stop.sh' timeout 3 second(s)
Existence = if does not exist 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then restart else if succeeded 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
Pid = if changed 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
Ppid = if changed 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
CPU usage limit = if greater than 50.0% 2 times within 2 cycle(s) then restart else if succeeded 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
System Name = system_debian
Monitoring mode = active

I should notice that if the start script is executed in terminal manual, the server works and Monit see server is running (so everything with the pidfile is correct).

Make sure monit has permission to execute the script.

[aron9forever]

also make sure that when running hlds, you either have the script in the same folder as hlds_run or you cd there before it, hlds can't be linked with folders because it won't find it's files(so no ./home/user/hlds_run)

Yes, i have changed the script and everything is working fine Thanks again.
