I got this to work... (-:

check process ssh with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid
--------------^^^
      start program = "/bin/true"
      stop program = "/bin/true"
      port 22 protocol ssh


even "check process check" does work. (-: Thus, we don't have problems
with reserved words any more.

How...?

"check[ \n\t]+process" is bound to a "whatever" string as one token.
Thus, the argument of "check process" is not matched against the whole
language, but just in the context of "check[ \n\t]+process[ \n\t]+[^ \n\t]+"
.

See the patch.
