Add option to delay the first check after boot

[Former user]

When setting up set daemon 1 (Or maybe even a bit higher), its possible that monit will call start on a service that is already set to auto-start on boot.

Adding an option to delay the first check for a configurable time will help here to delay monit from restarting the already starting service.

An option like this is already available. You can use set daemon 1 with start delay 60 to make Monit wait 60 seconds before starting the checks.

It is not documented in the official documentation or the manpage. It is only documented on http://linux.die.net/man/1/monit. But I am successfully using it here with Monit 5.x.

Please see the start delay option as @caprico suggested.
