We have added the CLI wait and result report feature to our TODO list, 
currently the CLI just schedules the action and returns immediately.

As a workaround it could be possible to write script which will call "monit 
stop service" + then won't return immediately but will poll "monit summary" or 
"monit status" to observe the service status and return after the stop finished.

Best regards,
