[Nagiosplug-help] check_procs returns 'Not parseable:'

[Stevens, Michael]

I am running the Nagios-plugins 1.4.10 on a Solaris 10 system.  I'd like
to use check_procs -a to be sure I have a specific process running.
When I try to look for the process, check_procs is unable to find it.
Running check_procs with a -vv returns:

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -vv -a jdenet_k
CMD: /usr/ucb/ps -alxwwn

I'm guessing that ps returns fields NI, SZ, and RSS without any blanks
between them, and then check_proc gets confused and returns not
parseable.  Note that NI, SZ, and RSS is the 7th field returned by ps.

I have an old version of check_procs, 1.3.1, which uses ps -Ao 's uid
ppid comm args', which finds the jdenet_k processes.  Am I doing
something wrong, or is this a bug.  Thanks,
