I thought maybe the binary download was a little out of date so I cloned the git repo today and still get the same error.

I just resolved my own problem, in the monitrc I had commented out the http stuff since I had no intention of accessing it myself. I didn't realize certain monit cli commands communicate this way. Once I uncommented out the following and -HUP'd monit it worked

set httpd port 2812 and use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost allow localhost # allow localhost to connect to the server and allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'

Fixed Issue #170 If monit was started with no http interface, the CLI commands crashed.

Hello, thank you for report.

Yes, the CLI commands like status, summary, start/stop/restart/monitor/unmonitor require the http interface support so the CLI can communicate with the monit daemon.

If no http interface is enabled, the CLI would log error anyway, as it has no access to the daemon in such case, but it shouldn't crash.

Fixed in the development version
