Monitoring Individual Programs

[Jackson Sie]

There's actually another way...  If your apps can run as non-trusted
separately created users with their own UID, then it should be trivially
easy to do the equivalent of '/usr/bin/ps -f -u <appowner>' on whatever
OS you are on.  The syntax I've listed is for Solaris.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Individual Programs


List,
Im new to NAGIOS, but I have looked through the docs and Im still at a
loss. I have NAGIOS up and running and its great. However, I have 3
applications that run and I would like to be notified if they crash. Is
there a way to monitor the apps by CMD name and not PID? The reason for
this is they stop and restart pirodically so the PID changes. 

Thanks

Joe Giles
