Re: Monit starting out without monitoring

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

the monitoring state is saved persistent across monit restarts - saved to a 
state file. The default state file path is ~/.monit.state, you can customize it 
using "set statefile <path>" statement in monit configuration file. If you need 
to reset the state after each machine reboot, either do "monit monitor all" in 
the monit startup script or place the statefile to some volatile filesystem 
(for example /tmp is often mounted using tmpfs/ramdisk).

Regards,
Martin
