If I get you right, the pain point here is a command called by the
resource agents during monitor operation, while this command under
some circumstances _never_ terminates (for dead waiting, infinite
loop, or whatever other reason) or possibly terminates based on
external/asynchronous triggers (e.g. network connection gets
reestablished).

Stating obvious, the solution should be:
- work towards fixing such particular command if blocking
  is an unexpected behaviour (clarify this with upstream
  if needed)
- find more reliable way for the agent to monitor the resource

For the planned soft-recovery options Ken talked about, I am not
sure if it would be trivially possible to differentiate exceeded
monitor timeout from a plain monitor failure.
