Of course you are all right on this.  I know these questions are anoying
and who types something doesnT deserve better.  The only confusing this
is,  users mistype "monit restart" thinking it means "restart monit" and
not restart all services.   I donT want to have a question anytime you
want to restart any foo or bar service.  I just would like to see some
token like all if you want to restart all services.  => "monit restart
all" instead of "monit restart".
