I am a developer for net-snmp. If you look at the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, it lists all running processes.
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunIndex points to the various running processes and delivers: hrSWRunName hrSWRunPath hrSWRunParameters hrSWRunType hrSWRunStatus hrSWRunPerfCPU hrSWRunPerfMem I just had a look at one of my servers, and a defunct process was listed as: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunStatus.283 = INTERGR: invalid(4) other processes were listed as runnable(2) or running(1). Is that what you had in mind? -----Original Message----- From: David Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 1:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring UNIX Processes By process monitoring, I mean that I want to see if a process is running or dead (either by virtue of not in the current running process list or being in the "zombie" state). We are using net-snmp as the SNMP daemon on these boxes. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:WhatsUp_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Shaw > Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 7:56 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring UNIX Processes > > What exactly do you mean by "process monitoring"?
