Program going to defunct state

[suharno abdul rahman]

Hi

We are using monit-5.19.0-linux-x64.

We are having a simple check program in monitrc

check program check_ETLDaemon with path "/ngs/app/scripts/check_ETLDaemon.sh"
   if status != 0 then alert

check_ETLDaemon.sh program is also simple

ETLDaemon_var=`ps -ef |grep ETLDaemon.jar|grep -v grep|wc -l`
if [ $ETLDaemon_var -eq 1 ]
then
    ETLDaemon_var=0
else
    exit 1
fi

We have set the Daemon for 180 seconds. Every time when monit checks the program it goes to defunct state.

host:/ngs/app$ps -ef |grep defunct
etlp     11807 15188  0 22:48 ?        00:00:00 [check_ETLDae] <defunct>
etlp     12273  3642  0 22:50 pts/1    00:00:00 grep defunct

Can you please let us know what is causing the issue

Thanks Suharno
