start but no stop wanted

[Nick Upson]

I'm trying to setup a config where monit watches a process and starts
it on failure but does not stop it.

The config I have looks something like

check process ntpd with pidfile "/var/run/ntpd.pid"
   start program = "/opt/unb/bin/ntpd.sh start &"
   stop program = "/bin/true stop &"

the problems I have are:

a) the start command takes ages before moving on to the next entry in
the file, even when ntpd is already running so there is nothing to do

b) the stop command is even slower
