[Patch] Port as number or as service name/alias

[Christian Hopp]

Hi!

This patch is against version 2.5 and it introduces the ability to enter
network ports (for checks and for the http server) as service
names/aliases.

If you have e.g.: the following entry in your /etc/services:

foo             12349/tcp
monit           2812/tcp        superlecker

You have the possibilities to enter the http server settings like
this,

#set httpd port monit
#set httpd port 2812
set httpd port superlecker
        address localhost
        allow localhost
        allow admin:********


and those to enter a service,

check foo with pidfile /var/run/foo_daemon.pid
    start program = "/etc/init.d/foo start"
    stop program = "/etc/init.d/foo stop"
    group foo
#    host iei1 port 12349
    host iei1 port foo
    alert address@hidden
    checksum /opt/sbin/foo.py

It works with Solaris 2.7.

Bye,

Christian Hopp
