I just took a quick look into the code of nmap (to look for a possible better 
solution then your fix): sadely they make it in a complete other way.
If i understand correct nmap uses raw sockets to send out all 
packets/requests. And then filter out all responses from the device in 
promiscuous mode.
I think this is a little beyond the scope of monit :)

Not to busy to develop a quick fix. Respect.
