Monit script for bouncy

bouncy.conf

check process node with pidfile /etc/init.d/bouncy.node.pid
       start "/etc/init.d/yourApp start"
       stop  "/etc/init.d/yourApp stop"
       if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 80
       then restart

The pid file for bouncy, in my case, is stored at the path /etc/init.d/bouncy.node.pid so just substitute the path to the bouncy pid file if it is not located there.

I capture the bouncy pid file with the following:

bouncy /path/to/your/routes.json 80 &
echo $! > /etc/init.d/bouncy.node.pid

Also, I'm not setting a polling interval here as it is set in my /etc/monit/monitrc file:

set daemon 3
