Correct method to monitor service?

[frwa onto]

Hi,

    I have set below in my monit.conf.

check process service1 with pidfile /var/run/wrapper.service1.pid

start program = "/etc/rc.d/init.d/service1 start" with timeout 60 seconds

stop program = "/etc/rc.d/init.d/service1 stop"

I tried to start the service in this manner 

monit service1 start

Invalid argument -- service1 (-h will show valid arguments)

So should I start using my existing method where I get into my wrapper folder /usr/local/wra1/bin/ then key in ./startDaemon.sh? I would like to know if I am doing the right thing?

Thank  you.
