Restarting monit services through an API

[Callum Macdonald]

Holamigos,

I'd like to be able to restart a service that's managed by monit,
programmatically, from a remote host.

I was imagining something along the lines of:
https://host.domain.tld:2082/_status?format=xml

I'd like to use something like that to restart a service, rather than
simply retrieve status information. Is that possible?

I'm guessing I could generate a POST submission to the appropriate URL
based on the HTML of the status interface, but I wondered if there was a
more elegant solution. Any thoughts?

Cheers - Callum.
