Confirmed: The Maldet service requires inotify-tools:
Code:
maldet(882): {mon} could not find inotifywait command, install yum package inotify-tools or download from https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki/
systemd[1]: Can't open PID file /usr/local/maldetect/tmp/inotifywait.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
systemd[1]: Failed to start Linux Malware Detect monitoring - maldet.
Then adding the following command to the maldet.sh script will fix it:
Code:
yum -y install inotify-tools
Or perhaps a centmin detection routine for maldet service failed startup.

Thanks for the heads up, must be something new as Centmin Mod hasn't had to install
inotify-tools as yet and addons/maldet.sh doesn't have it. But my test install does have it installed ~ June 2021 last year so could be something overlooked.
Code (Text):
yum -q history list inotify-tools
ID     | Command line             | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   803 | -y install inotify-tools | 2021-06-09 20:42 | Install        |    1

It should be a new requirement since all of my old VPSs are missing inotify-tools and a brand new installation too
