mysql username error

[Richard Bergoin]

I didn't found the "full changelog" to check if this "bug" have already been fixed (not search results for "mysql username").

$ cat /etc/debian_version

7.10

$ monit -V

This is Monit version 5.4

$ monit -vv

/etc/monit/conf.d/mysqld:6: Error: syntax error 'username'

$ cat /etc/monit/conf.d/mysqld

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

start program = "/etc/init.d/mysql start"

stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"

if failed

port 3306

protocol mysql username "user" password "pass"

then alert

The username+password support for mysql test was added in Monit 5.14, please upgrade to Monit 5.17.1

Okay, thank you, got it to work creating a debian package and then installing it :

wget https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/downloads/monit-5.17.1.tar.gz
apt-get build-dep monit
apt-get source monit
cd monit-5.4/
uupdate ../monit-5.17.1.tar.gz
cd ../monit-5.17.1
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc
// Got some errors here, so I need to create / copy some files :
touch doc/PLATFORMS
mkdir contrib
cp ./system/startup/monit.upstart contrib
cp ./system/startup/monit.service contrib/
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc
ls ../*.deb
../monit_5.17.1-1_amd64.deb

Maybe I should have asked this question on the mailing list (just saw it this morning...)
