Optionally monitoring, depending on local config?

[Bryan K. Wright]

Hi folks,

        I've just started looking at monit, and it looks very useful.
I'd like to deploy it onto bunch of machines, but they're all running
different combinations of services.  Some have httpd and sendmail,
some just httpd, some just smbd, etc..  Is it possible to use one
monit configuration for all the machines? 

        Ideally, I'd like to be able to build tests into monit's
configuration file, of the form:

        if fileexists /etc/rc.d/S85httpd then
                check process apache with pidfile 
/opt/apache_misc/logs/httpd.pid
        .....
        endif

or 

        if `chkconfig sendmail` then
                check process sendmail with pidfile /var/run/sendmail.pid
        ....
        endif

Is anything like this possible?

                                                Thanks,
                                                Bryan
