either by starting monit with parameters

monit -d 300

which tells monit to run as deamon and check the state of monitored
services on 300 secs (5mins)

or you can set this time in the monitrc file

set daemon 300
(which has the same effect as above line)

Change the 300 to some time longer of the time needed to start the
service, but be careful if  you're monitoring other services as well
bacause you may miss some state of services, or you'll experience some
downtime, till the monit refreshes
