I'm put up as responsible for that feature. The status is that this  
is a work in progress and not in CVS yet. I have the code for exec  
but need to incorporate it into monit. I can't promise any ETA on  
this and I'm sorry to say that it has been on our TODO list a while.  
The reason is that I'm currently prioritizing m/monit development  
whenever I have time, we are serious behind schedule there. This  
feature will most certainly be added at some time in the monit space- 
time continuum though.

As always, if anyone else wants to give this a stab, patches are  
welcome.
