Re: Question about monitrc file.

[Martin Pala]

You can prepare wrapper for init script which will decide what to do in 
the case that it is called by monit - either call init script or do 
different thing (e.g. stop heartbeat). You can use monit environment 
variables to support the decision. This modification should be easy 
scripting.

There is also very general hint which allows to do many things with 
monit - see question no. 13 in FAQ 
(http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/faq.php)

There are most probably another ways how to do the same thing.

Btw. some monit events (such as timeout) have implicit actions 
currently, we plan to allow to override these actions:
