No failure return codes for monit status/monit summary when monit not running

[Daniel]

Hi

Just playing around, and monit doesn't return exit error codes for monit 
status/monit summary when monit isn't running.  Could be handy for shell 
scripting or parsing monit output from the command line.

With monit running

address@hidden cron.daily]# ps -ef | grep monit
root     15574     1  0 11:28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/monit -I
address@hidden cron.daily]# monit summary >/dev/null ; echo $?
0

After killing monit

address@hidden cron.daily]# ps -ef | grep monit
root     15478 14141  0 11:25 pts/2    00:00:00 grep monit
address@hidden cron.daily]# monit summary; echo $?
monit: no status available -- the monit daemon is not running
0
address@hidden cron.daily]# monit status; echo $?
monit: no status available -- the monit daemon is not running
0
address@hidden cron.daily]# ps -ef | grep monit
root     15530 14141  0 11:26 pts/2    00:00:00 grep monit
