hi. this happened to me today. (newb)  
: monit seemingly resets itself, and in the process, stopped pen and  
mongrel clusters…

so my question then is:

1. is the monit reset interval automatic or is it when something  
happens…
2. what would the script (and where placed) look like to start my  
mongrel and pen in the case it happens?

\*crosses fingers, and closes eyes hopefully someone responds \* : P
