problem getting monit to recognize new PID after logroll of monitored app

[Sennott, Mark]

Every night I shut down our mongrel processes, archive the logs, and
then restart them. As part of this, I shut down monit before hand and
then start it back up after. Problem is that Monit says that the
processes have NOT started and tries to restart them (even though I have
verified that they are up and running before Monit starts). At first I
thought it was the state file, so I make sure it is deleted when I shut
down monit. Here is what I see in the logs:
 
[CDT Jul  3 15:24:13] info     : Shutting down monit HTTP server
[CDT Jul  3 15:24:13] info     : monit HTTP server stopped

[CDT Jul  3 15:24:49] info     : 'metromix-9331' trying to restart

pid 23246
[CDT Jul  3 15:25:49] info     : 'metromix-9301' process is running with
pid 23249
[CDT Jul  3 15:25:49] info     : 'metromix-9302' process is running with
pid 23252

 
As you can see above, after 60 seconds, monit re-checks and says that
everything is fine. Is it really trying to restart my app or is this
just a fluke with logging?
