monit not saving monitoring status

[Alex]

Hi,

When I do a reboot on a machine, kernel update usually, then I have to 
remove monit from inittab each time, be cause it wants to start some 
services too early, which would start by themselves otherwise. Now this 
should be handled pretty easily with monit unmonitor imho. If it's a 
planned reboot, then why not save the monitoring status in the state 
file too.

After doing some tests, it seems not to hold that info there. Any ideas 
how to accomplish that? I've read about putting sleep in front of the 
inittab line and other solutions, but I'd prefer monit to just remember, 
what it is monitoring.

alfa:~ # ps ax | grep monit | grep state
 4755 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/bin/monit -s /var/tmp/monit.state -c 
/etc/monitrc
alfa:~ # monit monitor all
alfa:~ # md5sum /var/tmp/monit.state
5068d20466a2fd65744db63f7b2c9a18  /var/tmp/monit.state
alfa:~ # monit unmonitor clamd
alfa:~ # md5sum /var/tmp/monit.state
5068d20466a2fd65744db63f7b2c9a18  /var/tmp/monit.state

Thanks for reading,
        Alex
