Summary: check_procs fails on Solaris

Initial Comment:
Hi,

check_procs v2019 (nagios-plugins 1.4.13) exits with "Unable to read output" on most of our Solaris8 and Solaris 10 servers (I do not have access to any Solaris9 servers). 1.4.11 works just fine. I've attached the truss output.

Message:
Thanks for the debug output. Nagios-plugins now use pst3 to get the process
list and this program needs to be installed and setuid root (I think old
versions of nagios-plugins used it too, so you may have it already on some
servers).

It looks like you're trying to run from the source repository. Be sure to
install the plugins, or at least hand-install pst3 (in plugins-root/
directory, don't forget to setuit root).

If you still have issues I'll be able to help you is you can send the
truss output again with the option to follow forks (-f).
