Re: Monit state is not fully saved

[karen.arutyunov]

Hi Martin,

Thank you for the answer regarding the first described behavior. Good to know 
it goes away.

According to the current state of the master branch it seems that Monit still 
don’t save the state on exit in non-daemon mode. Do you know if there are any 
plans to change that as well ?

Best regards,
Karen
