=head1 NAME

services - Plugin to monitor number of processes of different services

=head1 CONFIGURATION

This plugin uses the following configuration variables

 [services]
   env.datafile		- Path to file which contains list of services (default: /root/munin/services.list)

Datafile should contain lines which are used to detect number of running processes (ps ax | grep "LINE FROM FILE").
If a number of processes of some service is below 1 (e.g. 0) critical event happens (configure your munin.conf about "contact.NAME.command" to send mail or something else;
also nice line is 'contact.NAME.always_send critical' - not to stop sending alerts after critical event appears the first time).

Datafile may contain comment lines (begin with "#"), empty lines and even regular expressions (WARNING - not tested, use carefully)
Example of datafile:
#############################
# This line is a comment and next lines are names of some services
sshd
smbd
nmbd
lighttpd
# Next line is an empty line

named
# Next line is a name of service with a path
/usr/local/sbin/upsd
# Next line is a line with spaces
BackupPC -d
#############################

This plugin does not draw any graphs. It is only written to send alerts via mail or something else.
