Hello, you can use "mode manual" statements - Monit will not monitor the service unless you'll call "monit start xyz" or "monit monitor xyz". Note that the monitoring state is persistent - recorded in the statefile and Monit will resume the monitoring state on next start. If you want to keep the service unmonitored on next boot, you'll either have to call "monit stop xyz" (or "unmonitor") before the machine stops or you can for example place the statefile to memory based filesystem (tmpfs), which will cause Monit "amnesia" on reboot as the statefile will be lost (you can set the statefile path using "set statefile" statement).
