Re: [monit] How to add a stop statement with parenthesis

[Martin Pala]

you can use this:

  stop program = "/bin/bash -c 'kill -9 `cat /var/run/lircd.pid`'"


Regarding the process which shouldn't be started by monit on boot ... 
you can:

1.) either use monit's "startdelay" option which waits given number of 
seconds when monit is started:

  set daemon 5 with start delay 60

Note: startdelay option was added in monit 5.x

2.) or you can set the service to manual mode (enabled by service 
statement: "mode manual" and modify the your startup script to enable 
monitoring after service is started: "monit monitor foobar"
