Monit did skip the service on stop command up until 4.8.2.  What you
describe is new behavior that doesn't show up in the change log.

Was this change in behavior requested?

Thanks,
Aaron

This is correct behavior. The stop command does two things:

1.) stops the service provided there is stop method
2.) disables the service monitoring (regardless of the stop method 
existence)

The fact that there is no stop method, doesn't mean that monit will skip

  the service on stop command - the selector 'all' matches all services 
and monit will disable the monitoring of this service.

You can use service groups (the 'group' statement) to limit the 'stop 
all' scope:

   monit -g myservices stop all

will then stop just the services in the 'myservices' group.
