monit

I just don't get it. monit behaves very strangely...

check process thin with pidfile /var/run/thin.4567.pid
  start program = "/srv/Pusher/server start"
  stop program = "/srv/Pusher/server stop"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 4567 protocol http then restart
  group server

this is the process that should be restarted. So I tested monit and stopped the process. But it is showing only this:

Process 'thin'
  status                            Does not exist
  monitoring status                 monitored
  data collected                    Wed Mar 24 01:18:55 2010

when I run "monit validate" it starts the service. Am I missing something?

Thx
