nagios list of process IDs must follow -p

Hey Remy,

The script probably contains a call to "ps -p" which requires a  
number of PIDs. My guess is that these PIDs should be generated by  
the script, but that something's going wrong :)

EDIT:
Ah, found it:

>                 else
>                         return 1
>                 fi
>         fi

So it's trying to get the PID from the Nagios lock file, but  
apparently there is no PID in there and thus the script borks :)  
Should be easy to fix this, though IMHO this should be fixed in the  
source/package so everyone benefits from it.

Cheers!
