<DIV><SPAN class=381164622-17102002><FONT face=Arial size=2>I´m deploying a
Nagios solution to monitor some Linuxes and one important point is to check
the presence of some process (like named,snmpd, sshd, crond, etc.). But the
existing check_procs plugin just warns me if there are MORE than the -w
specified option. But I just want to know if there is at least one process
instance running, being warned if there is NO process
running.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
