Maybe i don't understand exactly what are you asking for. Do you want to 
differ starts which were made by monit because of:

1.) monit detected failure during protocol, resource tests, etc. 
(process is running but functionality test failed)
2.) or wheter monit detected that the program isn't running at all 
(process doesn't exist)

Monit  doesn't allow to register just one type of above events (at least 
in current version). Both these events are selectable through 'restart' 
option of alert statement (for example):

alert address@hidden on { restart }

I don't understand this - please describe the method which make problems 
to you.


Thanks,
