Re: [monit] odd / even cycles

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

i think the problem could be solved in wrapper script - the services can 
be put to group (for example "mygroup") and before restart unmonitor 
both services in monit like this:

script snippet:
--8<--
# disable monitoring before restart:
/usr/bin/monit -g mygroup unmonitor

<perform restart here>

#enable monitoring after restart:
/usr/bin/monit -g mygroup monitor
--8<--

Thanks,
Martin
