I found an error in my monitrc where I specified the wrong path for a 
pid.  After the check interval, monit now shows my process as running.  
I was pretty frustrated that when I used the monit command it usually 
just paused and then said "cannot read status from the monit daemon", 
does a bad pid path normally cause this ???
