Re: [monit] Monit Span Multiple instances

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

there was similar problem which was fixed in monit 4.9:

--8<--
* Fix the extra restart action which was called by monit
  in addition to user requested start action of stopped
  process. This didn't occured in the case that the 'every'
  statement was used on the service definition as well. Thanks
  to Aaron Scamehorn for help.
--8<--

It seems however that some applications still has this or similar 
problem (reported by several users).

I'll look on it ...
