Re: Add a service in unmonitored state

[Andrew Holt]

Hi,

Is there some way a start script for “myservice” could know it had been 
configured ? e.g the existence of a config file.

The existence of this plus "monit summary | grep myservice”

So if the config exists & monit does not control it then monit reload

HTH,
Andrew
