I'd love to see this feature too. I use a homebrew Perl script to rotate 
Apache's logfiles, and one of the things I have to do in it is tell monit to 
unmonitor Apache until the rotation is done. It would be nice to be able to 
set something like this in monitrc for a process:

if timeofday 0400-0410 then unmonitor

Alternately, be able to set something like this on the alert lines:

alert address@hidden on { timeout connection } if timeofday !0400-0410

While that wouldn't affect the actual monitoring and action on a process, it 
would at least mean that someone's pager wouldn't be going off while they're 
asleep for something that they don't need to take action on.
