Monit supports the dependency for such situations (the 'depends on' statement).
I can't understand how the dependency should help in such a case?

If I know right, monit will not wait for dependent files.
We had a discussion about this 2 years ago, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2005-11/msg00049.html.

Currently there is just soft dependency, hard dependency option is planned.

Thanks.
The workaround is not enough in general. It is not always a case of starting a service. For example, I check files and directories that are created and
initialized by processes yet to be invoked and they might depend on some
other factors. I would like the checks to start only in , let's say, 10
cycles.

If monit is starting the process, then it expects that the next monitoring cycle will be the service running otherwise it reports error.

This behavior cannot be changed currently, but i added the todo item for
it:

As a workaround you can set your monitoring cycle so, that the service will have time enough to start.

With "every N cycles" we can lower the test frequency.

Is it possible to only delay the first test for a number of cycles and
then
continue normally or possibly delay only the alerts.

I have a lot of alerts when I start monit that are a result of the new
processes being invoked by monit. It is just noise. I would like to get alerts only after I have reached "steady state" and then the alerts will
really mean something "bad" happened.
