this is a typo only.

I use the local macbook host name to bind to and check this name.

The check run every cycle and try to login to the monitor, if the logon
failed tree times the start command will executed.
If the Monit monitoring will be stopped it never started again. In
general the logon succeded after the start (the monit reload) command.
But I try to prevent useless/endless recovery after a give time, this is
the reason I disable the check themselfe.

The question is reasonable, I use "start" only, the "restart" check does
not work (perhaps). I will check this, I find "start" requests only but
no "unmonitor" request in the log files. On the other hand, after the
first "monit reload" the monitor will response all the time.

With regards,
Lutz
