Then you will have to use zmu or create a perl script to use the perl modules.
zmu --help
should give you plenty of information or for the perl script reference the zoneminder modules.

but i don't understand because when use function zmMonitorEnable only stop 30 seconds.

this is function contents in SharedMem.pm:

sub zmMonitorEnable( $ )
{
my $monitor = shift;
my $action = zmShmRead( $monitor, "shared_data:action" );
$action |= ACTION_SUSPEND;
zmShmWrite( $monitor, { "shared_data:action" => $action } );

}

The problem is solved.

when used zmMonitorEnable only stop for 30 seconds is caused for defined option ZM_MAX_SUSPEND_TIME=30 change for 0 and solved!!
