[Nagiosplug-help] check_snmp_process & check_snmp_proc

[Kevin G. J. Freels]

Stephen,

I seem to remember that this happened to me a ways back. I think I
solved it by putting the entire path of the executable being checked,
such as (example) :

   /usr/sbin/slapd

instead of just:

   slapd

You could try that to see if it helps.
