Re: [monit] Subject: Disabling timing out to "not monitored"

[Martin Pala]

If no timeout statement is set then monitoring shouldn't be disabled. During 
restart the service is temporarily unmonitored, but the monitoring is enabled 
again as soon as start method finishes.

Please can you provide monit configuration, logs and more details about when 
the problem started (to correlate with logs)?

Thanks,
Martin
