Help restarting tomcat

[John Bertrand]

Hi, monit noob here.  I'd like to know if it's possible to have monit pause
for a few moments after it runs the start command, allowing tomcat to 
fully boot
before it continues with health checks.  Right now after  startup.sh is 
invoked, monit immediately
trys to check the service and gets an error.  I'd like it to wait for 
the service to fully start before continuing the
checks.

Here is a trace from the logs
[PST Jan 15 11:48:05] error    : 'tomcat' failed, cannot open a 
connection to INET[tomcat:80/sample/test.html] via TCP
[PST Jan 15 11:48:05] info     : 'tomcat' start: 
/data/apache-tomcat/bin/startup.sh
[PST Jan 15 11:48:05] error    : 'tomcat' failed, cannot open a 
connection to INET[tomcat:80] via TCP
[PST Jan 15 11:49:05] info     : 'tomcat' connection succeeded to 
INET[tomcat:80/sample/test.html] via TCP


Here is my logic.  I'm trying to start tomcat if it's not running, and 
if it is running, I'll poll a status page which I can use for checksum.

   check host tomcat with address 10.1.0.10
    start program = "/data/apache-tomcat/bin/startup.sh"
    stop  program = "/data/apache-tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh"
    if failed host tomcat port 80 and protocol http with timeout 60 
seconds 3 cycles
       then start
    if failed host tomcat  port 80
        protocol HTTP request "/sample/test.html"
           with timeout 60 seconds retry 3
            then start
