check_* -w and -c switches

[Jason Lixfeld]

Ok, I'm trying to figure out the -w and -c switches for nagios in 
conjunction with the check_procs plugin.

If I'm monitoring a single process that doesn't spawn, I can't figure 
out how to get nagios to understand that if it checks and finds 0 
processes, that it's a bad thing.  Here's an example:

su-2.05b# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -w 1 -c 1 -C fooproc
OK - 0 processes running with command name fooproc
su-2.05b# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -w 1 -C fooproc
OK - 0 processes running with command name fooproc
su-2.05b# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -c 1 -C fooproc
OK - 0 processes running with command name fooproc
su-2.05b# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -w 0 -c 0 -C fooproc
OK - 0 processes running with command name fooproc

Even if I set it to a higher value, it still things that 0 is a good 
thing :(

su-2.05b# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -C fooproc
OK - 0 processes running with command name fooproc
su-2.05b#
