monit: action failed -- There is no service by that name

[Salam Y. ELIAS]

Hi, I am new to monit, followed instructions and have it now up and running.

I wanted to follow the webcast and tried to setup a monitor for my httpd process
as in the webcast. Whenever I restart monit I get the following :


monit restart all
monit: action failed -- There is no service by that name.

This is the config in localhost file I added before starting getting the error

>     check process httpd with pidfile /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid
>             group apache
>             start program = "/etc/init.d/httpd start"
>             stop program  = "/etc/init.d/httpd stop"
>             if children > 250 then restart
>             if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then stop
>             if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

The httpd service is up and running, when I do "ps -C httpd", I have httpd
processes runnig as follows :

 PID TTY          TIME CMD
 1671 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1677 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1719 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1720 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1721 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1722 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1723 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1724 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1725 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1726 ?        00:00:00 httpd
 1727 ?        00:00:00 httpd

issuing "service httpd status", I get
httpd (pid  1671) is running...

and indeed my webserver is up and running

By the way, is it possible to monitor Xorg process


Thanks for your help
