Re: [monit] Wait for dependencies to start

[Martin Pala]

Hi Philippe,

currently only correct sequence is enforced, but the child services don't wait 
doe their parent to come up (soft dependency).

We can add hard dependencies in next monit release (child will wait for its 
parent to come up).

Regards,
Martin
