Package: monit
Version: 1:5.1.1-1
Severity: normal
The default init script dependencies have monit starting before
most other services. If you are using monit to monitor your
critical services, it would be preferable to have monit start
last so that it does not detect "downed" services that have
simply not been started yet.
Similarly, it would be ideal for monit to stop before all other
services.
I added these directives to my monit init script to get the
behavior I'm describing:
Should-Start: $ALL
Should-Stop: $ALL
Thanks,
