I did check the logs and it did show the error when the process was
not running. Then in the next line it would say:
monit: Start or stop method not defined -- process tcpaprscvt
It would not start automatically. But it would work when I used the
start service button on the browser interface. Based on the log
message, I began to wonder if monit needed to have a stop method
present in monitrc, even though it only needed to run the start
method. I added a stop method, which was just the same method that I
used in start, because I figured it wasn't going to have to use it
anyway, it only uses the stop method if you select stop or restart.
After I did that, it began to work properly, automatically starting
the process when it determined it had stopped. I belileve that solves
my problem for now. Thanks for the suggestions.

You can run monit in verbose mode with -v options and check the
monit logs. When the file is not available, then monit should report
error.
You can also check the system logs and/or mnttab using monit's
content test and check remote services using tcp/udp tests. You can
also use hint no. 13 from monit's FAQ:

I have a mail server that mount nfs mounts from a file server. I
would like to be notified if/when the file server is unreachable by
the mail server. I tried using a token file with the following:
# /homes/home01 is the nfs mount
check file home01 with path /homes/home01/monit.token
group hyper
But that did not work. 'monit summary' still showed it as
accessible even though the file server was offline.
I would appreciate any suggestions and/or strategies for monitoring
an nfs mount. Thanks.
