Has anyone configured monit to watch over ZoneMinder? I'm relatively new to monit, so it's not obvious to me how to configure it to watch specific zm processes such as zma or zmc, or what else I might want to try. Most examples of watching a specific process reference a specific pid, but zm starts up one instance per camera and it doesn't appear to be controlling the pid.

I realize the zmwatch.pl script does some measure of this, and has the advantage of looking at more internal data to know what's happening (e.g. it runs a query to get the list of all monitors), but I thought I'd ask since monit would seem to be a nice complement to it and can at least monitor apache and mysql.
