Currently, pegasus-monitord is started by pegasus-dagman that in turn is launched by pegasus-run. There is no easy way for a user to specify extra arguments that monitord to be started with.

One way to do it, is to support a property called
pegasus.monitord.arguments

the arguments specified in there will be added to the end on the command line arguments with which monitord is invoked by pegasus-dagman.

this feature will be implemented in the monitord code itself
