Yep Stéphane, that is correct. Also note that the monitord is per
lxcpath, not per container.

Çağlar, you may have been slightly confused because if you start a
container in daemon mode through the API, the API does an internal
lxc_wait() and thus a monitord will get spawned when you first start a
container, but will go away ~30 seconds afterwards.
