[Nagiosplug-devel] check procs via nrpe

[Hiren Patel]

check_procs usually reports the right number of processes running, but 
when run through nrpe, reports one extra process (if using args for 
example) because nrpe calls the shell to run the check.

I noticed this after seeing nrpe reporting 2 processes yet running the 
command on the local box said 1 process.

the diff attached causes the check to ignore the process if the 
processes pid is the same this checks ppid. nrpe runs the shell which 
runs the check, so the shell process should be the checks parent.

haven't really tested this, wanted to see if it would be considered, if 
so I'll test it. any comments appreciated.
