Hi.

The new rpmforge 'monit' package is broken when upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3.

When upgrading from monit-5.2.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64 to monit-5.3.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (released a few days ago) the following error occurs.

Starting monit: monit: Cannot find the control file at ~/.monitrc, /etc/monitrc, /etc/monitrc, /usr/local/etc/monitrc or at ./monitrc

The rpm package installs the configuration file into /etc/monit.conf. monit 5.3 no longer reads this file so on an upgrade it breaks.

Vince.
