Name parsing doesn't allow slashes anymore (regression?)

[Francesco Belladonna]

Hello, we have two servers with monit installed, one monit 5.6 and the other monit 5.16.

in monit 5.6, configuration with check process "default/delayed_job" works properly. sudo monit start "default/delayed_job" works fine too.

In 5.16, check process "default/delayed_job" and running sudo monit start "default/delayed_job" it will results in There is no service with name "default"

Is this a regression or something wanted to make easier config parsing?

Hello Francesco,

the "/" character in the service name is not supported - there was partial support in one Monit release, which was removed as the implementation was not complete.

We may add support for slash in the future.

Hello @tildeslash

No problem, I just needed to know the behavior since I faced the difference. Seems fine, we don't really need support for it so don't consider it a support request, it was just unexpected.

Thanks!
