yeah i know but it seems like it runs some kind of grep  over the ps  
output.

The helpfile from check_proc out of the 1.4.1 alpaha package is somewhat  
better (it didn't seem to change his behavior):

Examples:
  check_procs -w 2:2 -c 2:1024 -C portsentry
    Warning if not two processes with command name portsentry. Critical
    if < 2 or > 1024 processes

  check_procs -w 10 -a '/usr/local/bin/perl' -u root
    Warning alert if > 10 processes with command arguments containing
    '/usr/local/bin/perl' and owned by root

  check_procs -w 50000 -c 100000 --metric=VSZ
    Alert if vsz of any processes over 50K or 100K
  check_procs -w 10 -c 20 --metric=CPU
    Alert if cpu of any processes over 101001145700r 20%
