Summary: Use monotonic clock for monitoring 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
The current logic uses time(2) to decide whether it is time to monitor again or not, however if the time is moved backwards monitoring will cease to be performed until the time difference is caught up. The attached patch switches the code to clock_gettime(2) using CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
