Why do you shut down monit instead of just doing:

# monit unmonitor mongrel-xxx
# "do your stuff"
# monit monitor mongrel

About why it fails to detect them running. Are the PID files created 
instantly, maybe it takes more than 60 seconds for the PID files to be 
created by mongrel? Just guessing.
