check_procs with spaces in their path?

You are confusing the program name with its arguments.

./check_procs -c 1:1 -C '/usr/lib/sendmail' -a '-bd -q15m'

IE, exactly one process, with command /usr/lib/sendmail, and arguments '-bd
-q15m'

Note that the -a is a pattern match.  You can also specify the username to
own the processes.
