Plugin to check that process is running?

[Emmett Hogan]

There are a few, including one that comes with the distribution: 
check_procs.

However, I "rolled my own" because I didn't want to make multiple ssh 
connections to check for multiple processes.  Mine takes a list of 
commands and returns "OK" if they are all running, or CRITICAL if one or 
more are not running (it also tells you which ones are not running).  
check_procs is much more flexible if you are checking on just one process.

I'll attach it here, feel free to hack on it, just let me know how you 
improved upon it. :-)

Hope this helps,
Emmett
