CPU monitor for a single Linux user spaceprocess ?

[Daniel Wittenberg]

I also modified one of the other plugins to do a user-space, check_ps.pl I think was it, so I added a -u <user> option that basically does a ps aux for all that user and then totals all the results.  I can probably get a copy if you wanted it.  Mainly because I don't use snmp for process checks is why I did it as a local check.

That's exactly what I need.
Would have taken me years to find that.
