monit unresponsive to status requests?

[Randy Bias]

Folks,


	I'm new to monit, but have a hopefully quick and easy question.  I've 
noticed that sometimes monit occasionally becomes unresponsive to 
status requests, giving an error as follows:

        monit: cannot read status from the monit daemon

	The monit process is running and has not died, but is unresponsive to 
the status request.  Making a local connection attempt to the webserver 
socket seems to work, although monit takes forever to respond after the 
socket is open.

	As far as I can tell this happens after monit is given any kind of 
directive.  For example, if I tell monit to stop a service it becomes 
unresponsive for up to 10 or 15 seconds.

        Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

        Environment is Fedora Core 3, 2.6.9 kernel.



Thanks,


--Randy
