Summary: check_procs under SunOS 5.10 broken

Initial Comment:
Hi,

i just compiled the 4.11 plugins on a 
$ uname -a
SunOS spnb51 5.10 Generic_118833-24 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200

and found that check_procs does not work correctly.

$ ps -ef | grep cron
    root 15100     1   0   Nov 08 ?           1:06 /usr/sbin/cron

$ /usr/ucb/ps -alxwwn | grep cron
 0     0 15100     1  0  59 20 2784 1048 60015774482 S ?         1:06 /usr/sbin/cron

Cron is running, but....

check_procs -w :10 -c 1: -C cron
PROCS CRITICAL: 0 processes with command name '/usr/sbin/cron'

Running check-procs with -vvv shows, that it uses 
/usr/ucb/ps -alxwwn 
and actually parses the right line
proc#=0 uid=0 vsz=2784 rss=1048 pid=15100 ppid=1 pcpu=0.00 stat=S etime= prog= args=/usr/sbin/cron

but as you see, prog is empty and what should be prog is recognized as argument.

Please change the configure.in (the buggy lines in configure are 24967 ff) so that it reads:

ac_cv_ps_varlist="&procuid,&procpid,&procppid,&procpcpu,&procvsz,&procrs
s,procstat,procprog,&pos"
ac_cv_ps_command="/usr/ucb/ps -alxwwn"
ac_cv_ps_format="%*s %d %d %d %d %*d %*d %d %d%*[ 0123456789abcdef]%[OSR
ZT]%*s %*s %s %n"
ac_cv_ps_cols=9

(add procprog to the varlist, add a %s at the end of format and increase cols)

Then it looks good:
$ check_procs -w :10 -c 1: -C cron
PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'cron'


Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard
