"Device Boot" versus "Monitor Start"

[hippoma...@gmail.com]

Could someone explain what the similarities and differences are between the "Device Boot" event and the "Monitor Start" event?

At device startup, which fires off first?

I'm guessing that "Monitor Start" would also fire if Tasker was installed for the first time and then invoked. Is that correct?

What other situations, if any, could cause "Monitor Start" to fire?

I couldn't find anything about "Monitor Start" in the user guide. Is it documented somewhere that I might have missed?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much.

Yes, I have seen that piece of documentation. However, it doesn't address some of the questions I asked.

Monitor Start will occur every time Tasker's monitor service starts. That normally occurs as part of the device boot secquence. It can also occur if the monitor service stops for some reason such as android killing it to free memory or due to Tasker crashing which is pretty rare.

Thank you very much. This clarifies these two events for me and indeed answers my questions.
