If by 'application that does not reset its own TCP ports' mean an  
application that does not properly close it's port so that the port is  
open after the application is closed. I suggest the following, if you  
can, try to fix the application - the trick is to set the SO_REUSEADDR  
option on the bind/listen socket using setsockopt. If you can't fix  
the application, try to send data to the port and check the return  
value using monit send/expect.
