String format UID/GID is not resolved

[SzV]

if failed uid redis      then unmonitor
if failed gid redis      then unmonitor

Causes: /etc/monit/conf-enabled/redis-server:26: syntax error 'redis'

# grep redis /etc/group
redis:x:116:

However "root" is OK.

v5.17.1 on Debian jessie

redis is reserved word (protocol name), when used for username, you just need to quote it as string:

if failed uid "redis" then unmonitor
if failed gid "redis" then unmonitor

Thank you.

@tildeslash Could it be that depends does not accept quotes?

depend "redis_test"

[Tildeslash]

yes, the "depend" statement didn't accept quoted strings ... fixed: https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/commits/4c449c1a58d0/

Very kind of you.
