check_procs problems

[Webster, Stuart SITI-ITDIUR]

Thanks for reply Ton,,

still no luck though

here is my config

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       citric-server
        service_description             Check Citrix Daemon
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           15
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  nagios-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_procs_array!1:100!"/opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw -session"
}

# 'check_procs_array' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_procs_array
        command_line    $USER1$/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
        }





CRITICAL - 0 processes running with args /opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw -session

BUT these services are running, lots of them in fact

# ./check_procs -v
/usr/bin/ps -Ao 's uid ppid comm args'
OK - 68 processes running

My version of ps is the standard solaris 8 version


Cheers, help appreciated

Stuart

Which version of the plugins?

If you run check_procs -v, it will show the ps command used. There maybe
differences between the command used and ps -ef that you have used for the
2nd case below.

For the 3rd case, -a matches substrings, so just use the start of the
command "/opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw -session".
