monit and configctl

[cnu80]

Hi, is it possible to use monit with configctl?
I have problems with my WAN Interface when my provider is changing the public IP. I have to reboot or disable and enable the WAN interface to get opnsense connected again.

Now I tried to configure monit with configtl and following commands to "restart" the WAN Interface

Start Service:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/sbin/configctl interface reconfigure vtnet1; /usr/local/sbin/configctl interface linkup start vtnet1Stop Service:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/sbin/configctl interface linkup stop vtnet1
When I manually execute the command, the WAN Interface is online again, via monit it does not work. I can see in the log file, that monit ist executing the commands, but nothing happens.

Logfile from monit:

Is it a permissions or environment problem ?!

I can not provide a solution, just a hint here: I usually use wrapper scripts for monit test and services. It makes debugging much easier and gives you extended logging options...

You might need to run it in a shell, similar to the approach I use for pluginctl here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=18745.msg97953#msg97953

Wrapping the command within a shell was the solution. Thanks

/bin/sh -c '/usr/local/sbin/configctl interface reconfigure vtnet1; /usr/local/sbin/configctl interface linkup start vtnet1'
