[Nagiosplug-devel] ENC: Patches: check_swap and check_procs

[Voon, Ton]

Paulo,

I think the AIX check_swap is already fixed. Please try the snapshot at
http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot.

The check_procs patch sounds interesting, but I don't seem to have received
it. As Matt says, if you can add it to SF, we can look at it closer.

I'm not sure I understand the ps problem. Can you provide:

- platform
- ps -awxo | head -5 output
- ps awxo | head -5 output

This is probably best logged as a bug through SF as well.

Ton

Would you be able to submit these patches to the sourceforge tracker at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug ? That way we can better keep
track of them and make sure they get evaluated.

Thanks,
Matt
