ok, loosing patience here, is monit supposed to make my life easier ?

Thought everything was finally all set, even wrote a nice post 
documenting some stuff.

Come back this evening to check things one more time (have to check this 
stuff in tomorrow).

An poof, I get a bunch of "execution failed" status's, even though the 
fricken process is running.

sudo monit summary
The monit daemon 4.9 uptime: 24m
Process 'mongrel_8000'              running
Process 'mongrel_8001'              Execution failed  <==== what the hell ?
Process 'mongrel_8002'              Execution failed

ps -ef | grep mongrel
me        7197     1  0 22:09 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/ruby1.8 
/usr/bin/mongrel_rails start -P 
/home/me/workspace/rails_toucan/log/mongrel.8001.pid -d -  <==== yep, 
all 3 are here
me        7200     1  0 22:09 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/ruby1.8 
/usr/bin/mongrel_rails start -P 
/home/me/workspace/rails_toucan/log/mongrel.8002.pid -d -
me        7247     1  0 22:12 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/ruby1.8 
/usr/bin/mongrel_rails start -P 
/home/me/workspace/rails_toucan/log/mongrel.8000.pid -d -

if I kill one, monit does restart
cycle interval is now a whopping 3 minutes (seems like an eternity)

A google search reveals that no one knows what "execution failed" means.
