Hi all,
I am a hobbit newby.

I have a question about the PROC test: is there a way to define a test about
the presence of a particular proc executed by a particular user?

I'm in a situation where I have some daemons that could be started by a lot
of (machine)users and so I would like to check the user the proc run as.

Thanks in advance
 Marco

Not with the current code. It will only check for the presence of a
certain process, not who is running it.

It's a possible enhancement, though.

	Temporarly you could use an alternative of creating sym links
for the program based on the username. Like, for a programa "progX"
started by user userB, it could start a symlink called progX_userB and
so you can test it fine on hobbbit proc test.

Hello Henrik,

I found the following mail and was wondering if this is possible in the
(near) future in my favourite monitoring tool, Xymon.

It would be a welcome feature for 4.3 or 4.4?!

Kind regards,
Peter
