Summary: check_procs arg-array check matches itself @ sol8

Initial Comment:
On Solaris8, using nagios-plugins-1.3.1, when calling
check_procs with -a to look for argument strings, the
plugin is including the check_procs call as a match
(this is from a check_procs modified only to enable the
DEBUG1 output of the process list)

[root] $ ./check_procs -c 1: -a inetd > /tmp/check
[root] $ grep inetd /tmp/check
CHECKING: 0 0 1 S /usr/sbin/inetd /usr/sbin/inetd -s
CHECKING: 1 0 14603 S ./check_procs ./check_procs -c 1:
-a inetd
OK - 2 processes running with args inetd
[root] $

the call to itself should be excluded from the reported
list.

Greg,

Thanks for the bug report. This should be fixed in the CVS 
HEAD version of check_procs, due to be the upcoming release 
1.4. Can you give that a try from 
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot/?

Ton

After succeeding on my RH8 box, I found that the code *is* 
trying to strip the match to itself.  But the solaris8
ps_cmd is returning the procprog with the called path:

CHECKING: 1 0 14603 S ./check_procs(?=check_procs)
./check_procs -c 1: -a inetd

where ./check_procs(?=check_procs) is (pseudo)defined as
$procprog(?=$progname)
