Re: [monit] monit starting too fast

[Martin Pala]

I think the solution could be simple:

define the services which depend on the nfs filesystem with "mode 
manual" statement ... monit won't automatically monitor these services.

Then add "/usr/bin/monit monitor all" to some place where the nfs 
filesystem is available already (for example to the end of your nfs 
client init script or to rc.local or create new standalone init script 
which will be started last and will enable the monitoring).
