Folks...
I use check_procs to check if certain things are running, radiusd
authentication server, nfs daemons, anti virus scanning daemon, etc.
Sometimes I find that I get timeouts calling the check_procs plugin via
check_nrpe and yet nrpe is quite responsive.
I've narrowed it down to times when the process list is quite large, the
machine is not necessarily overloaded. Unfortunately Linux shows threads in
the process list so the process list can be quite long even when there's not
a lot going on.
Do people have any thoughts on how else to check if a process is running? In
the context of making the check_procs plugin work better of course.
