Thanks, that actually helped. The process name is cut off at 15 letters.

Ss      64  2027  2026   9452  3524  0.0 condor_collecto
condor_collector -fproc#=0 uid=64 vsz=9452 rss=3524 pid=2027
ppid=2026 pcpu=0.00 stat=Ss etime= prog=condor_collecto
args=condor_collector -f
Matched: uid=64 vsz=9452 rss=3524 pid=2027 ppid=2026 pcpu=0.00
stat=Ss etime= prog=condor_collecto args=condor_collector -f

Found my process, although I am not perfectly happy with that.
[root at ftam plugins]# ./check_procs -c 1:1 -C condor_collecto
PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'condor_collecto'

Regards,

Dennis
