Delay restart of processes in monit

Question

Can I modify montrc so that it will not restart process immediately. The process has to be down for a full cycle before a restart is triggered. This is so I can keep my existing capistrano deploys.

Answer 1

you can use something like :

check process x with pidfile /var/run/x.pid
   every y cycles

or

start program = "/etc/init.d/x start" with timeout 90 seconds
