If I run the following command I get an error

 

./check_procs -w 100 -c 150 --metric=PROCS

System call sent warnings to stderr

PROCS WARNING: 75 processes

 

This is on fedora core 2

I ran into the same problem last night after upgrading to the 1.4 plugins on
a SUSE 9.1 box. The problem was an incorrect syntax for the ps command. The
./configure script creates config.h file. Before you run make, open config.h
and check down around line 690 for:
 
#define PS_COMMAND "/bin/ps -axwo 'stat uid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args'"
 
Remove the "-" in front of the args. Save the file and then run make. That
fixed the problem for me.
