Process Check

The process check attempts to find a process by name specified with the --name (-n) flag. The result of the check depends on the value of the --type (-t) flag. If the --type flag is not specified, the default is running. Valid types are:

• running: If the process is found, the check returns an OK result, otherwise it returns CRITICAL.
• notrunning If the flag is not found, the check returns OK result, otherwise it returns CRITICAL.

Process Running

check_process --name bash --type running

Process Not Running

check_process --name invalidname --type notrunning
