Hi Viktor,
Thank you for your examples. You have a very complex monit configuration,
and I can learn a lot.
However, I tried the "depends" implementation, but it did not work when
trying to start the service.
If my "xyzzy" service depends on "check_xyzzy" then it will not be able to
start, because before xyzzy is able to start. monit wants check_xyzzy to
work, but check_xyzzy doesn't succeed, because xyzzy isn't running. It is a
"chicken and egg" problem.

Hello Steven!
I use tiny script with "depends on"
https://github.com/szepeviktor/debian-server-tools/blob/master/monitoring/monit/services/fail2ban_script
to check on services
