Re: Monit start delay only on boot

Hi Dave,

if monit depends on some services on your system, it'll be maybe better to set the dependencies and drop the start delay option from the configuration file.

Best regards,
Martin

Just started using it a few months ago to deploy Letsencrypt.org <http://letsencrypt.org/> certs from a central server to about 800 servers/VMs.  Monit will restart/reload each service (Apache, Postfix, Haproxy, Nginx, etc.) that references an LE cert when it's renewed every 60 days.  This is working great.

I am moving many of my Icinga checks into Monit using scripts to generate /etc/monit.d/*.cfg files custom for each server.  Then a single Icinga/Nagios check using check_monit.py will be customized to each box.
