process checks and user IDs
list Gary B.
I've looked through all the documentation, and can't find any information on how Hobbit processes the process check rules. I ask because we have some BB process check rules that check for user IDs in the ps output, rather than an actual process, and there's no real way of converting that into Hobbit. Also, the Solaris ps output doesn't include the full process name, so I can't check for the process that way either. Any suggestions?

I don't know if it helps, but on Solaris you can usually use /usr/ucb/ps instead of the normal ps, which has similar options to the linux ps, including the -w (wide output) flags which will show full process names. -Charles

The stock 'ps' from Solaris can use the -o option for format
So a command like, ps -eo user,pid,args would give you:
raditz#66 <Grs> ps -eo user,pid,args
USER PID COMMAND
root 0 sched
root 1 /etc/init -
root 2 pageout
root 3 fsflush
root 1076 /usr/lib/saf/sac -t 300
root 342 /usr/apache/bin/httpd
root 221 /usr/sbin/cron
...

But where do you change the ps command that Hobbit uses on the client?

Looks like in 2 places although one is just for BB compatibility $HOBBIT/client/bin/hobbitclient-sunos.sh $HOBBIT/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg (BB compatible) -Grs-

Ah, hobbitclient-sunos.sh. I was looking for that file and couldn't find it. Guess I didn't look hard enough. Thanks.
