Hi Martin/Jan-Henrik,

I worked my way through the process of documenting everything I did to
cause this kill all processes problem after a fresh reboot, and wouldn't
you know it, I couldn't reproduce it again!
I'll spend some more time tomorrow getting to the bottom of this and
report back to the list.

The group problem is still very much reproducable for me however, so
I'll fork this thread with the group specific information:

Jan-Henrik said to use the syntax "Try  "monit -g groupname start""
which I've done below, with the results pasted.
What am I doing wrong here?
