Summary: check_procs (not cmd longer that 15char)

Initial Comment:
"check_procs -C rendering_server" doesn't find any  
process but "check_procs -C rendering_serve" does.
'/bin/ps -axo "stat uid ppid comm args"' clips the comm 
argument at 15chars in my system. (Redhat 7.0 linux 
2.4.9).

use -a to match args. If you use -C you must account
yourself for the idiosyncracies of the output. (note,
however, that there have been changes to check_procs, so the
specific behaviior you describe may have changed since th
bug was filed.)

sorry for previous comment I did not study the post
carefully enough. 

The command is clipped always. 
The solution than would be to check(grep) both command and
args columns.

the commnad should be then 
'/bin/ps -wwwaxo "stat uid ppid comm args"'
instead of
'/bin/ps -axo "stat uid ppid comm args"'

The ps command without www parameter is trying to keep 80
char per line limit.

I would like to have there also the lstart - the time when
the process was started.
