By doing verbose mode, i.e. check_procs -vvv, I can see that it increases the counter on 1. the "syslogd" process 2. the "check_procs" process It does however correctly ignore the "ps" process when it does an "ignore self" in the C code. It should also ignore the "check_procs" process which is self. I'm a bit puzzled. check_procs works fine for me on Solaris 8. By comparing I can see a crucial difference in the ps command it executes: On Solaris 8, SPARC: /bin/ps -Ao 's uid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args' On Solaris 10, SPARC: /usr/bin/ps -Ao 's uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args' i.e. 8 columns on Solaris8 while 9 columns on Solaris10. I must admit that I'm not comparing apples to apples here as on the Solaris10 I'm using revision 1.46 of the plugin while on Solaris8 I'm using revision 1.43. Any ideas ? Thanks. Lars </BODY> </HTML>
