check_procs problems

[Webster, Stuart SITI-ITDIUR]

Here is a small portion of the output, looks to me like i should be looking for thesame string as with ps -ef

ps -Ao 's uid ppid comm args' | grep ctxXtw
S  1910   335 /opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw                                                          /opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw -session 1022 -terminate -notransfills -frameexpose -no

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 

?
