sorry for being not precise. What i meant is:
It is possible to differ between a (re-)start of a program because monit 
detected any error. Or because a user called from a command line 'monit start 
foobar' (probably the user stoped the programm before this for some maintance 
and starts it now again).

I only want to get a warning mail if monit started the program again because 
it detected a failure of this program. But i'm not interested in getting a 
mail if a user/admin stoped and restarted the program for any reason.

Keep up the great work.
