check_procs -C on AIX 5L

[RyeR at schneider.com]

I am having issues with the check_procs command on AIX 5L systems.  There
is certain instance where it will report a Critical state of no processes
existing, when indeed the process does exist.  After digging, I believe it
is issuing a ps -el.  I have also changed the check_proc.c code to use the
verbose setting.  This the output when I run the command on a AIX 5L system

root $ ./check_procs -w 1: -c 1: -C syslogd
/usr/bin/ps -el

syslogd CRITICAL - 0 processes running with command name syslogd

So of course any process listed as "not pareable" does not correctly work.

I was hoping someone might have run into this, before I have to resort to
looking at the source code.

Thanks
Ralph
