[Nagiosplug-help] Checking for a process

[Voon, Ton]

David,

I think this should do what you want:

check_procs -c 1:1 -C fetchmailx

Be aware that the -C is not a pattern-match: it must be the full name of the
command. Run "check_procs -v" to see the ps command used and it should be
the process name in the last column.

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
