Frustrated. The above makes me only guess the problem is somewhere in the process58 probe. Having the details provides it's hard to tell source of the issue. My guess being a mixture of shell glob pattern (when 'equals' operation is provided, IIRC this is the default operation) vs Perl 5 regex expression (when 'pattern match' is used as operation). Both of them required the expression to be written differently (and won't work when wrong combination is used). > > > > > Do you know how to make it work?

Don't know what's wrong.
