[Nagiosplug-help] Checking for a process

[David Corbin]

I don't mean to be stupid, but ....  It's clear I don't understand  the 
command line arguments.  I've tried playing with several combinations of 
arguments, but they all yield "OK".   What should the arguments be to 
verify that exactly one instance of the process is running?  (I think 
I've got the -C part right, it's the rest that's causing me grief).

oboe:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_procs -w 1-1 -c 1-1 -C fetchmailx
OK - 0 processes running with command name fetchmailx

Thanks
David
