      Thanks, Jeremy & Carl for the hints !

      That's will be the way (external process- or logfile/pidfile-monitorscript)

      Anyway, i thought there is eventually a built-in function for this ;-)

      thanks & cheers

            What platform are you on?

            On Linux you can do
            ps -p<pid> -oetime
            or
            ps -C<backupname> -oetime

            You just need an external script to report green if it's not found.  If it's been going over 24 hours then the format is D-HH:MM:SS so you just need to check for the dash then check the number of days.

                   Hi !

                   Unfortunatley i didn't found a solution for my problem except these
                   threads, which are not really a soluton :-(

                  http: //lists.xymon.com/archive/2013-July/037868.html

                   The question is, if anybody has a idea,
                   how i can monitor the runtime for certain processes,
                   preferably with his pid ?

                   My real problem is, that my backup-system runs at beginning of the months
                   maybe more than 2 days ... but in the normal way it's runs 2-4 hours ...

                   So, i want to have a yellow alert after 24 hours and a red alert after 48
                   hours .. is this possible ?

                   Thanks & Cheers
