Additionally, we used to monitor a process like this in the BB client:

localhost :: JBoss3-workflow

On the hobbit server with the new client I have to get more specific:

PROC "-Dse.process.name=JBoss3-workflow"
   
Could you try with
    PROC "%-Dse.process.name=JBoss3-workflow"
i.e. use a reg.expression instead of a simple string ?

Right now the process-name checks will accept any kind of match
for a regular expression. But for simple string matches, it assumes
the string is a program name, not an option - so it wants a blank or
a slash before and after the part of the string that it finds in 
the ps output.

I thought it was a good idea when I did that, but now I'm not so sure.

Tried this

PROC "%FilterManager" 1

and got this 

%FilterManager (found 1,  req. 1 or more)

Looks like '%' gets displayed, but this is closer to what I am looking for.

If I leave the '%' off then I get proc not found, and as you have already stated you said it is fairly restrictive.

Thanks for the '--no-ps-listing' by the way, that makes the web page look much better.
