How about write a custom script that is green when your ps -ef |grep
<procname> has the appropriate user, yellow if say, 1 or two is owned by
someone else, and maybe red if 5 or more?
You could also do no middle ground, too. Green or red.
Fairly trivial, but it would not be monitored as a PROC, it would be a
custom check.

Subject: [hobbit] monitor processes by owner
Hi,
I am new to this mailing list so apologies if I am breaking any protocol
by sending this mail out to this address - I have searched the faqs and
can find no answer.
What I am trying to do is to monitor processes by the owner.
In hobbit-clients.cfg I can specify a string to search for in the
process name but I can find no way to look in the USER column.
If I could, then I could get a count of processes owned by oracle and
graph it out.
Is this possible?
Many thanks
Josie
