Exec works with "if" statements in general except one special statement:

  IF <x> RESTARTS WITHIN <y> CYCLES THEN TIMEOUT

which supports *just* timeout as Jovan described and as stated in the 
monit manual.

As noted, you can for example modify the startup scripts to do what you 
want. Monit sets several environment variables which provide lot of 
informations about what happened to the executed program and allows it 
to modify its behavior based on context :
