Weird... if I stop my sshd just the master server is stopped but the
connection remains.  All "connection servers" are given to init.  You have
to kill just the master sshd with SIGTERM.  Then it does work... I have
tried it on Linux and I think I did it several times on Solaris, too.

Mmmh... the problem is how should monit know that you are cutting your own
rope?  What if the user intended to stop that certain service and suddenly
it starts again?
