[monit] Process without pidfile - cannot script

[Adam Nielsen]

Hi all,

Perhaps I'm not looking in the right spot but as far as I can tell Monit 
requires a pidfile in order to monitor a process.

I'm a bit stuck as to how to apply this to Samba.  I don't want to 
monitor the main Samba process, but I do want to monitor each process 
that gets spawned every time someone connects.  If there are 50 users 
connected to the machine, there will be ~51 copies of smbd running, and 
they are created more or less at random so there is no way to put them 
in a pidfile.

After these sub-processes have exceeded a certain amount of memory I 
want to kill them (the Windows machine will immediately reconnect so 
this isn't a problem) but I'm not sure how to tell monit to check all 
the processes that match the name "smbd".

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
Adam.
