Monitoring a process with its pid

[Wolfe, Robert]

Forgive me, but I am not quite understanding why you are wanting to do this?  Don't PIDs change from program startup to program startup?

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring a process with its pid

Let me re-phrase it a little ,

Basically what i want is to give the process id as the input and make
sure on that target machine i have the process with the given id running
, once it stops there might not be the process running with that id and
hence i need to raise an email notification alert.

Thanks
