I'm starting to use 'monit' at more sites, to monitor essential services
and restart them if there is a problem.

The thing is, monit uses the existing RC framework to start and stop
these services, so when a machine is first started the RC system we have
both the RC and monit starting these services, and I have seen things
get Ugly (processes abort while there are multiple simultaneous attempts
to start them, with the result that monit stops trying and the processes
do not get started).

I figure there are several ways to crack this problem, and I'd bet that
other folks have thought about it already and might even have solutions.
