If you take a look at lib/delayed/backend/recipies.rb you'll see that any delayed_job_args are passed to the start and restart tasks, but not stop.
The problem is that if you enabled monitors with -m, and have multiple workers running (with -n 2 for example) the stop task will not stop the monitors, which will restart delayed_job. If you pass the -n 2 flag to stop then the monitors are turned off correctly (with or without the -m flag).
If you're only running one worker (with or without monitors) there is no issue. Likewise if you're running multiple workers without monitors, no problem. The problem only manifests with multiple workers + monitors.
