Have you analyzed why your system is not booting? Who is "they"?
Monit shouldn't prevent the system from boot. Regardless of whether
you configured it via inittab or init.d script, if the service fails,
the system is able to resume normally. The root cause seems to be
outside of monit, most probably configuration issue. The OS reinstall
is overkill from my point of view - you should find the root cause.
You didn't provided any details on your system. What system it is,
how is monit installed, configured and started, provide all relevant
system logs. Provide the console output up to the system freeze.

P.S. Did you tried the single user mode to recover the system?

I have monit 4.10.1 installed on my server and everything seemed to
be going ok. It would restart apache from time to time as I needed
it to. Then last night the server went down for some reason. Since
this is a dedicated server I sent a reboot request to my host. They
responded with
"The system is failing on reboot. The error message is :
Cannot execute /usr/local/bin/monit"
They kept working with the server then finally said
"Your server won't reboot after repeated instances to rebuild the
init.d . The only choice we have left is to reload your OS. Please
let us know if you have any external backups for us to proceed with
the reload."
Why would monit keep the server from booting?
