As stated - *hard* dependency can solve this problem, since monit
will wait for the parent to start. Currently just soft dependency is
supported, so this just provides correct sequence, without waiting
for parent.

Monit supports the dependency for such situations (the 'depends

I can't understand how the dependency should help in such a case?
If I know right, monit will not wait for dependent files.
We had a discussion about this 2 years ago, see http://
lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2005-11/msg00049.html.

Currently there is just soft dependency, hard dependency option is
planned.

The workaround is not enough in general. It is not always a case
of starting
a service. For example, I check files and directories that are
created and
initialized by processes yet to be invoked and they might depend
on some
other factors. I would like the checks to start only in , let's
say, 10
cycles.

If monit is starting the process, then it expects that the next
monitoring cycle will be the service running otherwise it
reports error.
This behavior cannot be changed currently, but i added the todo
item for
it:

As a workaround you can set your monitoring cycle so, that the
service will have time enough to start.

With "every N cycles" we can lower the test frequency.
Is it possible to only delay the first test for a number of
cycles and
then
continue normally or possibly delay only the alerts.
I have a lot of alerts when I start monit that are a result of
the new
processes being invoked by monit. It is just noise. I would
like to get
alerts only after I have reached "steady state" and then the
alerts will
really mean something "bad" happened.
