Hi Martin,
Thank you about the monit stop and start I full understand
cause you dont want monit to start a service which have been stopped with
proper reason. Ok about the credentials my machine does not have gnome or
graphical ui. Is it ok if I set just like this and why cant we disable the
gui access as in my case I dont need it at all.
set httpd port 2812 and
use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost
