Monitor Delayed Job in rails

>Delayed Job & Monit configuration
We were struggling through how to monit delayed_job from past few months because monit doesn’t work seamlessly with delayed_job start/stop commands and finally we got able to monit delayed_job.
Here is our old configuration that wasn’t working anyhow-

check process delayed_job
  with pidfile /home/sandip/shared/pids/delayed_job.pid
  stop program = "/bin/bash -c 'cd /home/sandip/current && RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop'"
  start program = "/bin/bash -c 'cd /home/sandip/current && RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start'"
  if totalmem > 100.0 MB for 3 cycles then
    restart
  if cpu usage > 95% for 3 cycles then
    restart

After doing google & looking at stackoverflow, we found different solutions to work with but none of them found useful to me. 😦
After reading google group someone (not remembering exactly) directed to write a init script for delayed_job server and that perfectly worked for me and my headache of self moniting delayed_job ended up 😉
Here is delayed_job init script
## /etc/init.d/deloyed_job

#! /bin/sh 
set_path="cd /home/sandip/current"
case "$1" in     
  start)     
    echo -n "Starting delayed_job: "     
    su - root -c "$set_path; RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start" >> /var/log/delayed_job.log 2>&1     
    echo "done."     ;;     
  stop)     echo -n "Stopping delayed_job: "     
    su - root -c "$set_path; RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop" >> /var/log/delayed_job.log 2>&1     
    echo "done."     ;;     
  *)     
    echo "Usage: $N {start|stop}" >&2     
    exit 1     
    ;; 
esac  
exit 0

finally here is the working monit delayed_job configuration

check process delayed_job with pidfile /home/sandip/shared/pids/delayed_job.pid 
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/delayed_job stop" 
  start program = "/etc/init.d/delayed_job start
  if totalmem > 100.0 MB for 3 cycles then restart 
  if cpu usage > 95% for 3 cycles then restart

Thinking Sphinx monit configuration

check process sphinx with pidfile /home/sandip/shared/pids/searchd.pid 
  stop program = "/bin/bash -c  'cd /home/sandip/current && /usr/bin/rake RAILS_ENV=production ts:stop'" 
  start program = "/bin/bash -c 'cd /home/sandip/current && /usr/bin/rake RAILS_ENV=production ts:start'" 
  if totalmem > 85.0 MB for 3 cycles then restart 
  if cpu usage > 95% for 3 cycles then restart

Adhearsion (ahn) monit confiuration

check process ahn with pidfile /home/josh/shared/pids/ahnctl.pid 
  stop program = "/bin/bash -c 'cd /home/sandip/current && /usr/bin/ahnctl stop adhearsion'" 
  start program = "/bin/bash -c 'cd /home/sandip/current && /usr/bin/ahnctl start adhearsion'" 
  if totalmem > 100.0 MB for 3 cycles then restart 
  if cpu usage > 95% for 3 cycles then restart

Nginx monit configuration

check process nginx with pidfile /opt/nginx/logs/nginx.pid 
  start program = "/opt/nginx/sbin/nginx" 
  stop program = "/opt/nginx/sbin/nginx -s stop" 
  if cpu > 70% for 3 cycles then alert 
  if cpu > 80% for 5 cycles then restart 
  if 10 restarts within 10 cycles then timeout
