Re: monit unresponsive to status requests?

[Randy Bias]

This assumption is true of many of the daemons, I grant you, but not 
all of them.  Specifically nfsd for example, which spawns off multiple 
instances of itself, but has not parent process.  There may be other 
services that are like this as well.  I can probably think of other 
instances where you might want to do something similar as well if you 
give me some time.  :)
