[monit] confusing process behaviour

[Nick Upson]

using monit 4.10, I have a process which has the following config entry

#
check process everyloop with pidfile "/var/run/everyloop.pid"
start program = "/opt/unb/bin/monit-everyloop.sh"
stop  program = "/bin/touch /dev/null"

I just want this process run everytime monit checks the processes (2
mins), what is happening is that sometimes this happens and sometimes
it runs every 4 mins, see log output below
