[Nagiosplug-devel] check_procs plugin - option for one more 'w' in the ps command?

[Peter Norby]

Any chance you guys can (or already have) stuffed an additional 'w'
or the option to add additional ps flags into the command used?
I can't have been the first person to run into this problem,
where only a single 'w' cuts off the arguments after only
80 characters-ish, and processes with long lists of args
like anything starting with "java" get cut off before you
actually get to any identifying characteristics.
