[Nagiosplug-devel] check_procs

[Voon, Ton]

John,

check_procs -v will tell you the ps command used. From here, you can see
which command has the arguments abc123xyz.

But I can tell you now, it is the check_procs command itself that it has
caught. This has been fixed in the CVS HEAD version of check_procs.
