Hi,

I've got a problem with the check_procs plugin on systems with FreeBSD
5.2.1 and 5.3:

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs
OK - 10 processes running

There are much more processes running than 10 running - the other
problem is:

$ ps auxw | grep [c]ron
root 419 0.0 0.3 1344 776 ?? Ss 23Jul04 1:38.28 /usr/sbin/cron

Why grep [c]ron when it's exactly equivalent to grep cron?

$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 1: -C cron
WARNING - 0 processes running with command name cron


What happens if you give /usr/sbin/cron as argument to the -C switch?

check_procs from nagios-plugins v1.3.1 and 1.4.0-alpha3 return the same
results for me.

RE: Problem with check_procs on FreeBSD 5.2.1 & 5.3

Michael, What is the output from check_procs -v -v -v ? Also, what is the ps command in config.h? If this ps command is not the best one to run for FreeBSD, can you suggest an alternative?
