These 2 options allows you to control the daemon behaviour:
-- ENABLED:
- If you don't want to run 'mon' at boot time, please ensure the variable
- ENABLED in /etc/default/mon is set to something different to : "yes", "true" or "1"
-
- Default is: ENABLED="yes"

- DAEMON_OPTS:
Additional options can be passed to the daemon by adding them to DAEMON_OPTS.
