We have around 100 daemon processes started by monit. All these processes are CPU intensive during the initial phase of their processing i.e. the bootstrapping is CPU intensive.

In case of a machine restart all the 100 processes start at the same time and the CPU load average goes really high and eventually bring the machine down again.

We have a script which starts these processes one by one by pausing for 5-10 minutes after each process start, to give time for the started process to get its initial CPU time.

Is there a way in monit to avoid starting a process after the machine reboot?

I have similar requirements in the past and have used the "depends on" option in monit; i.e., this monitor is not triggered unless the one it depends on is "up" (green).
