Re: Unmonitoring device when unmounted

[Martin Pala]

You can either perform the mount/unmount via monit, provided you have 
start and stop method defined, or unmonitor the service manualy after 
the manual unmount.

The recommended method is to mount/unmount via monit. For example in the 
case that the filesystem is defined in monit this way:

--8<--
check device datafs with path /dev/sda5
  start program "/usr/sbin/mount /data"
  stop program "/usr/sbin/unmount /data"
  ...
--8<--

you can use following command to unmount the filesystem and stop the 
monitoring:

  monit stop datafs

to mount the filesystem and start the monitoring use:

  monit start datafs
