Try on the command line first, to remove the definitions out of the loop. I
get on SunOS 5.6:
$ ps -Ao 's uid ppid comm args' | grep ttymon
S 0 1 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p snail console login: -T sun -d /dev/console -l
co
S 0 404 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon
$ ./check_procs -c 1:20 -a "/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g "
OK - 1 processes running with args /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g
What do you get with:
ps -Ao 's uid ppid comm args' | grep ctxXtw
?
