I'm not getting the behavior I'd expect from some tests using check_procs for elapsed time. What I'm trying to accomplish is look for a process (string) and alert if it's been running for X time or more (from start time). For example:
./check_procs -m ELAPSED -a 'sshd' -w 0 -c 2 Time according to the man page is in seconds, so that should have sshd go critical: # ./check_procs -m ELAPSED -a 'sshd' -w 0 -c 2 ELAPSED OK: 5 processes with args 'sshd' That didn't work so well... All of my sshd processes are *old* at this point. Any idea what I'm missing? -Aaron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
