This is with monit-5.2.3.
You are probably right that there is some other process popping up:


[CEST Mar 29 11:46:39] error    : 'susepics' process PPID changed to 9967
[CEST Mar 29 11:47:39] error    : 'susepics' process PPID changed to 1
[CEST Mar 29 11:48:39] error    : 'susepics' process PID changed to 2052
[CEST Mar 29 11:48:40] error    : 'susepics' process PPID changed to 9967
[CEST Mar 29 11:49:40] error    : 'susepics' process PID changed to 9967
[CEST Mar 29 11:49:40] error    : 'susepics' process PPID changed to 1
[CEST Mar 29 11:50:40] info     : 'susepics' process PID has not changed
since last cycle

However, I have no idea what this process might be (PPID is 1?). It is 
certainly gone soon. Unfortunately the scripts that start the process are 
autogenerated, and it is not that easy to get a proper PID file.
