check_nagios command not picking up nagios process

[Jason Lixfeld]

I think I got it.  It would appear the ps syntax is from linux, not bsd.

ps -weo 'stat uid ppid comm args' won't show all processes on a bsd 
box. you need ps -axweo.

ahhh, much better:

su-2.05b# ./check_procs -C slapd
OK - 1 processes running with command name slapd
su-2.05b# ./check_procs -C nagios
OK - 1 processes running with command name nagios
su-2.05b#

perhaps a modification to autoconf detecting platform and using command 
syntax changes based on platform would help.
