Thank you for replying!

Monit runs every 60 seconds.   If I compare the timestamp when Monit first
saw that mythbackend was gone, to the timestamp in the mythbackend log, the
last thing in the log before restart is the reschedule request and it is
typically 20-30 seconds before monit sees that mythbackend is gone.

You have caused me to wonder about something else though.  Monit doesn't say
that process doesn't exist which is what happens if I kill mythbackend.
Rather it says that mythbackend failed HTTP test.

This is what I see in monit log:

[EST Nov 10 09:02:14] error    : HTTP: error receiving data -- Resource
temporarily unavailable
[EST Nov 10 09:02:14] error    : 'mythbackend' failed protocol test [HTTP]
at INET[localhost:6544] via TCP
[EST Nov 10 09:02:15] info     : 'mythbackend' trying to restart
[EST Nov 10 09:02:15] info     : 'mythbackend' stop: /bin/sh
[EST Nov 10 09:02:16] info     : 'mythbackend' start: /bin/sh
[EST Nov 10 09:02:47] info     : 'mythbackend' connection passed to
INET[localhost:6544] via TCP

Maybe I should try to modify my monit monitoring configuration?
