For example I try to get a Critical state when no ftp processes are running. The output of ps -ef | grep ftp gives me 'proftpd' so my command to execute can be $ check_procs -C proftpd -w 1 -c 2 But this give me an OK state when no ftp process is running. How can I change so that when no ftp process is running I got a Critical state. Maybe I overlook something. Thanks for the help Wim </BODY> </HTML>
