[Nagiosplug-devel] Plug-in check_procs

[Graziano, Paul]

Hi,
we discovered a bug with check_procs & I've downloaded the source code.
How do I know
If I have the correct version of the source based on our binary that we
are running.  When I run check_procs --help
the top line says check_procs v1758 (nagios-plugins 1.4.11).  I can't
find these values in the source code.

 print_revision (progname, NP_VERSION)

Bug Details
When executing the check_procs on HPUX or AIX the plug-in executes "ps
-el" not "ps -ef". This means that the pattern is not matched and the
plugin thinks the process is not running when it is.

./check_procs -w1 -c1 -C gcp_get_mistral_results.pl -vvv
<debug>
CMD: /usr/bin/ps -el (AIX 4.1 and HP-UX)
<debug>

Shows that for HPUX & AIX check_procs runs "ps -el"

And if I do ps -el on the command line - 
bigbro at lntrs184# ps -el | grep mistral_recv.pl

But the process is running.
bigbro at lntrs184# ps -ef | grep mistral_recv.pl
     rbc 23426     1  0  Sep  9  ?        15:10 /usr/bin/perl -w
./mistral_recv.pl


Thanks,
Paul Graziano
