In my case the current `monit status` command lists something like: ~~~~ Process '...' status OK monitoring status Monitored monitoring mode passive on reboot nostart ~~~~
And I assume that when it starts initially it is something like: ~~~~ Process '...' status Not monitored monitoring status Not monitored monitoring mode passive on reboot nostart ~~~~ My initial question was if there is any option to set `monitoring status` to `Monitored`, while leaving alone the `monitoring mode` and `on reboot` alone. > For services/resources I am interresting in information only I do not > define a start, stop and or restart command.

This is an issue, because I do have `start` / `stop` / `restart` commands defined, not for Monit, but mainly to allow an operator to quickly control a service, without SSH-ing into the machine. However it seems I'm in a deadlock... I do want commands to be able to use the UI as a simple controller, but I don't want Monit to automatically control them itself, but I do want Monit to automatically monitor services... :) My guess is that there is a missing option in the configuration... Thanks, Ciprian.
