But this is what seems strange:  in a "normal" deployment, both the
`state` and `id` files are placed under `/run`, and thus on many
distributions lost after a reboot.

However in my case, I make sure I keep these files in a persistent
folder on the disk, as such they are not lost on reboot.

Therefore I still suspect that Monit has some "reboot" detection
outside of those two files.
