Weirdness with check_procs plugin on Solaris

[Sandor W. Sklar]

The check_procs plugin from the nagios-plugins 1.4.8 package isn't  
working properly on my Solaris 8 and 9 systems.

I'm looking to get warned if there isn't exactly one process named  
"dsmc", with the argument "sched" ... its working fine on RHEL 4 and  
AIX 5.2:

On Linux:

# uname
Linux
# ps -fu root | egrep 'dsmc sched' | grep -v grep
root      2412     1  0 Mar20 ?        00:37:43 /opt/tivoli/tsm/ 
client/ba/bin/dsmc sched
]# ./check_procs -w 1:1 -u root -C dsmc -a sched
PROCS OK: 1 process with UID = 0 (root), command name 'dsmc', args  
'sched'

On AIX:

# uname
AIX
# ps -ef | egrep 'dsmc sched' | grep -v grep
     root 245308      1  37   May 04      - 17:32 /usr/bin/dsmc sched
# ./check_procs -w 1:1 -u root -C dsmc -a sched
PROCS OK: 1 process with UID = 0 (root), command name 'dsmc', args  
'sched'

But on Solaris ...

# uname
SunOS
# ps -ef | egrep 'dsmc sched' | grep -v grep
     root   385     1  3   Apr 27 ?       12:37 /opt/tivoli/tsm/ 
client/ba/bin/dsmc sched
# ./check_procs -w 1:1 -u root -C dsmc -a sched
PROCS WARNING: 0 processes with UID = 0 (root), command name 'dsmc',  
args 'sched'

The plugin itself seems to be working ok ...

# ./check_procs
PROCS OK: 45 processes

... but it doesn't seem to be able to match against any processes ...

# pgrep inetd ; ./check_procs -C inetd
201
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'inetd'
# pgrep sendmail ; ./check_procs -C sendmail
270
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'sendmail'

Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
	-s-
