Critical if < 2 or > 1024 processes So that's almost what you are looking for. It will warn if there not two processes named portsentry. You want that to go strait to critical instead and check for "qdaemon" -- check_procs -c 2:2 -C qdaemon testing it (using different process names that match my testing criteria) -- $ ./check_procs -c 2:2 -C sendmail PROCS OK: 2 processes with command name 'sendmail' $ ./check_procs -c 2:2 -C sendmailbad PROCS CRITICAL: 0 processes with command name 'sendmailbad' $ ./check_procs -c 2:2 -C init PROCS CRITICAL: 1 process with command name 'init' $ ./check_procs -c 2:2 -C nsca PROCS CRITICAL: 14 processes with command name 'nsca' -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
