Monitoring Individual Programs

[Terry Simons]

It would be fairly simple to write a plugin to do this.  I don't think 
one currently exists in the plugins package... at least, there doesn't 
appear to be one in my libexec directory.

Do you happen to know any perl?

All you really have to do is call something like...   ps a | grep 
path_to_process   from a script and then check the returned data to see 
if your process is in the list.

If it is, then you return an OK status, otherwise you return Critical 
(or even Warning).
