Also note: if you have spaces in your text description you have the initial quote in the wrong place...it has to wrap the whole TEXT statement...including TEXT:

HOST=*
  PROC="java" 1 100 green "TEXT=java - with a lot of parameters"

Someone please correct me if I've misspoken.

I have this java command-line that shows up in a PROC status (ps listing) on multiple lines.  I'd like to be able to have this text replaced with some one-liner.  I thought the way to do that >was using a PROC line in the analysis.cfg file with the TEXT option, but that doesn't do anything to either the client data OR the PROC status page.  Can this somehow be done in a ?>xymond_worker?  Can it ONLY be done in a xymond_worker?

Sample analysis.cfg file:

HOST=*
  PROC="java" 1 100 green TEXT="java - with a lot of parameters"

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David
Hi David,

What you have as an example would create an entry on the PROCS test page that would be ' java - with a lot of parameters' for any
PROC that has 'java' in the process string.  Is that the intent?  Normally it's the reverse.

Sample from analysis.cfg
HOST=%^gre.*
       PROC    "/apps/axeda/access/jre/bin/java -jar -Duser.dir=/apps/axeda/access/apache-tomcat-5.5.28 /apps/axeda/access/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/bin/bootstrap.jar start" TEXT=Axeda

Which would show on the PROCS test page as
Thu Oct 16 09:55:17 EDT 2014 Processes OK

 Axeda (found 1, req. 1 or more)

Instead of the whole line of text
