Could you post the corresponding line(s) in your monitrc?
Of course. I use the default of "set daemon 120", so tor is checked once every 120 seconds ('one cycle'). The tor specific part of the configuration is this:
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 9030 type tcp for 10 cycles then restart if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 9001 type tcp for 10 cycles then restart if 5 restarts within 100 cycles then timeout
I'm still experimenting with the exact numbers. Restarting after only one failed check was obviously too fast. Waiting for 10 consecutive failed checks (i.e. tor is not responding for 20 minutes) may be too long, but I don't want to ruin the 'stable' flag only because a botnet is wreaking havoc for a few minutes.
The last line is kind of a safeguard. I get monit alerts by email. If something is seriously broken with my server (or tor) five mails will suffice. Even if I am on vacation for a few weeks, I don't need a reminder every 20 minutes. ;-)
Thanks. My cycle time is 60 seconds and I'm now trying out 5 cycles for restarting. Bazinga's Stable flag is already gone due to those rogue restarts. It'll hopefully recover soon. - --RTNO -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSMIK6AAoJEJe61A/xrcOQa9oQAKu7qNF96HgcAjvYHSI5tkwb CX5U/hvxaXQj1wvYDKcoodVBL8rTmUNzeblI0pGIsAZ57znwPOII05OwspUJznor kDdmZbihtqwENwQ/Z02iGH2mLu9HMpcm8el5X8gTtSHyWM3vU2UrvVUxV2VJBsal U/TUGILNLv/aETGslQxcXM8d1h5IdOsbGts61VpjbITEqfTepXF3/zzrp0ZaxjD6 AXyLAdIs2uZRo1AtrYDwfOw2yb11qEpKnXfd6foB1+9EVLoVuJyJnR95IYipY8Wa krFHdY32IkOljZhtVy9nIS6DUQP4Ld57FqvNHJ2sHIUNc3vUmtY88pDgjaFqHln/ 5qdogx+3IiRsGYQpg/xQmNl0y+elKfw+3YRKkSWE0eI2htTBdrqw/FShRFeH83YI e7tmJZrj0WEcVM+yl4RcsXPvLC0wY64JFo1tqTICvqmFwHxqyikw6+FUKg0knygU /O14i0BC6o3dl8VzN80dlLZrbeDd/MFDKw/rO8UbC1GfufaklQ/i+qvArgpwwqz0 6H9NeEzmz8xrS5jVdLu3TAH8IAcDl93xlPzjDWpoTwbpLOK/B8/hFvph/7xTlPfy fOd7MlzStPyrbQftWg3LYU9svQphMbC1dGZFGm9gcuiYAB68KAz42ymWIPu6JWoy mxt725/8dzu/bv8b6Kek =Xy7A -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
