cant seem to make monit monitor a service

[Charles Pino]

Hello Martin and all,

i have a very basic requirement,restart a service whenever it goes down

this is what i have in /etc/monit.d/orkrfb

 cat /etc/monit.d/orkrfb
check process orkrfb with pidfile /var/log/orkrfb/orkrfb.lock
start program "/sbin/service orkrfb start"
stop program "/sbin/service orkrfb stop"
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout


i have set logfile to /var/log/monit.log and had the log followed (tail -f)
stopped the service and log file isnt doing anything

 tail -f /var/log/monit.log
[AST Nov 25 18:53:38] info     : Starting monit daemon with http interface at [localhost:2812]
[AST Nov 25 18:53:38] info     : Starting monit HTTP server at [localhost:2812]
[AST Nov 25 18:53:38] info     : monit HTTP server started
[AST Nov 25 18:53:38] info     : 'localhost.local' Monit started


my installed version is monit-5.5-1.el5.rf

anything you guys can suggest? i cant seem to make this work.

:(
