check_procs with multiple args

[Hari Sekhon]

I currently use check_procs a lot, but am finding a limitation in either 
the plugin or my knowledge of it.

I want to check for a process with 3 args and the args can be in any 
order. I don't see how to do this as it takes a string after the -a 
switch this means that I have to have a predefined order for the args.

Is there a way, short of writing my own bash script for this, to do it?

Also, check_procs --help shows -a and --argument-array as the same thing 
but I am not sure how this array is supposed to be constructed as it 
says "STRING" after it.

Does it take an array or does it take a string?
If string then does it use the string like an array.

I have already tried to switch the position of args in the string to see 
if it will make a difference and it does, the plugin does not find the 
process.
