I've had that problem too. Haven't got around to fixing it yet though.

I'd use a && instead of a semicolon. Also, if you suspect that "start" 
is done too early without waiting for stop to finish, it would make more 
sense to put sleep in front of the start script, not behind the stop 
script. Just some ideas.

A custom restart definition would be a good addition to monit.
