Okay, then it appears check_procs does not support that syntax. Negation
of longer strings like that requires a backtracking implementation of
regular expressions (the quotes are there because this kind of regular
expression is actually NOT a regular expression in the strict computer
science
All,
Is it possible to negate the regular expression used in

We want to ignore one of the processes running on a machine but when we
try to use negative lookahead the regex is not processed correctly
because it reads ! as a bash internal
To get around the issue of bash interpreting your regex characters as
something else, simply wrap the regex in single quotes:

This issue has been address a multitude of times (with differenet

Someone has claimed that the check_procs plugin was fixed in the latest
