Hey,

okay I mixed up some things, I'm sorry. Everything I'm pasting now is
based on nagios-plugins-1.4.0-alpha3 source:

$ grep -i ps config.h
/* Define to 1 if you have the `pstat_getdynamic' function. */
/* #undef HAVE_PSTAT_GETDYNAMIC */
/* Number of columns in ps command */
#define PS_COLS 9
/* Verbatim command to execute for ps in check_procs */
#define PS_COMMAND "/bin/ps -weo 'stat uid ppid vsz rss pcpu etime comm args'"
/* Format string for scanning ps output in check_procs */
#define PS_FORMAT "%s %d %d %d %d %f %s %s %n"
/* Variable list for sscanf of 'ps' output */
#define PS_VARLIST
procstat,&procuid,&procppid,&procvsz,&procrss,&procpcpu,procetime,procprog,&pos
   (4.3BSD, SunOS 4, HP-UX, AIX PS/2) */

I still didnt have any time to diff the sources - maybe I can sent you
the nagios-plugins sources of the FreeBSD package system?
