check_procs time elapsed

[Aaron McKinnon]

I'm not getting the behavior I'd expect from some tests using 
check_procs for elapsed time. What I'm trying to accomplish is look for 
a process (string) and alert if it's been running for X time or more 
(from start time). For example:

./check_procs -m ELAPSED -a 'sshd' -w 0 -c 2

Time according to the man page is in seconds, so that should have sshd 
go critical:

# ./check_procs -m ELAPSED -a 'sshd' -w 0 -c 2
ELAPSED OK: 5 processes with args 'sshd'

That didn't work so well... All of my sshd processes are *old* at this 
point. Any idea what I'm missing?
