C.5.11. Linux::Process Running
The Linux::Process Running probe verifies that the specified process is functioning prop-
erly. It counts either processes or process groups, depending on whether the Count process
groups checkbox is selected.
By default, the checkbox is selected, thereby indicating that the probe should count the
number of process group leaders independent of the number of children. This allows you,
for example, to verify that two instances of the Apache HTTP Server are running regard-
less of the (dynamic) number of child processes. If it is not selected, the probe conducts
a straightforward count of the number of processes (children and leaders) matching the
specified process.
Specify the process by its command name or process ID. (PID). Entering a PID overrides
the entry of a command name. If no command name or PID is entered, the error
is displayed and the probe enters a CRITICAL state.
