a promise kept?

Hi Aleksey,

I tried to trigger a report about some processes and I also were confused. 
Finally I found an alternative solution from the reference manual. I used 
something like this

processes:
    "cupsd"
         comment => "We don't want print services on our Web servers.",
         process_count => any_count("complain_loudly_about_cups");

commands:
  complain_loudly_about_cups::
    "$(stop_cups)";
    "/bin/echo send up a flare about CUPS";

where any_count is in the standard library. Maybe process_stop => $(stop_cups) 
works also in this case too, I haven't tried.

I wouldn't say that this is a better solution, but at least works logically.
