you can always use ssh to connect to the server and then monit
start/stop process_name ;)

btw. monit runs its own http listener which is used for accessing the
admin interface.
check your /etc/monitrc file and look for:
set httpd port 2812

this line tells on which port monit's build in http listener will
work. just type http://hostname:port
to access it. you can add authentication too.Check the monit httpd
section in the monit docs.

The only way to stop this built in http listener is to comment the
above line in /etc/monitrc.
