[Nagiosplug-devel] check_procs plugin - option for one more 'w' in the ps command?

Any chance you guys can (or already have) stuffed an additional 'w'
or the option to add additional ps flags into the command used?
I can't have been the first person to run into this problem,
where only a single 'w' cuts off the arguments after only
80 characters-ish, and processes with long lists of args
like anything starting with "java" get cut off before you
actually get to any identifying characteristics.
