[Nagiosplug-help] Continuing check_procs bugs?

[Voon, Ton]

On my Solaris 8, this works fine. 

After investigation, I think your problem is that /usr/ucb is before
/usr/bin in your PATH when you run ./configure. Nagiosplug does not appear
to pick up the correct output for /usr/ucb/bin. Have fixed in configure.in
that the /usr/ucb/ps is not correctly parsed, so will now error.

I would change your PATH and rerun ./configure. If it is a requirement that
/usr/ucb should work, then I could do a bit more work in making sure that
was okay.
