I've got that, but I also have a shellcommand for things like reloading
after a config file got edited:

editfiles:

  { /etc/ssh/sshd_config
      ...
  }

processes:

  "sshd"
    restart "/sbin/service sshd restart"
    elsedefine=sshd_chkconfig

shellcommands:

  sshd_restart::

    "/sbin/service sshd restart" useshell=false

  sshd_chkconfig::

    "/sbin/chkconfig sshd on" useshell=false
