How to check if an application is up or not

[Jens Kruse]

Hi there,

I hope I haven't missed docs for this:

I'd like to monitor whether an Application ist up or not, conditions 
should be

Green: At least 1 instance oc application is up
Yellow: More than 1 instance of application is up
Red: Less than 1 instance of application is up (i.e. application is down)

I tried it with

$ ./check_procs -C application -w 2: -c :0
which tells me
WARNING - 0 processes running with command name application
when application is down
or
CRITICAL - 1 processes running with command name fetchmail
when application is up

and
$ ./check_negate './check_procs -C application'
which tells me
OK - 0 processes running with command name application
when application is down ...

But this doesn't satisfy me ... :-)

Any ideas or hints?

Thanks, Jens
