+Each service is polled in sequence as they are written in
+I<.monitrc> file, unless they are part of a dependecy chain.
+However, each service may have its individual poll time set.
+Meaning that instead of checking the service on each poll cycle,
+the cycle check can be specified individually per service using
+the I<every> statement. The syntax of which is:

+=over 4

+=item EVERY [number] CYCLES

+Example:
+
+ check process nginx with pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid every 2 cycles
+ start program = "/etc/init.d/nginx start"
+ stop program  = "/etc/init.d/nginx stop"
+ [...]
+
+In the above example, if the global poll time set by I<set
+daemon> is 20 seconds, then the nginx process will be checked
+every 40 second. This is because the every statement specify that
+this process should only be checked every other cycle
