Simple Bash Shell Script that is used to check if a process is running

Tested on:

Nagios 3.x
CentOS 5.x
I originally created this script to monitor Taxware process 'jboss' but then decided to make it less specific.

This script only checks 3 status:

OK
Critical
Unknown

Copy the plugin in the nagios plugins directory.


Usage: ./check_process_running.sh SERVICE PROCESS_NAME

Example of Usage:

command[check_taxware]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_process_running.sh jboss Taxware

Output:
Taxware OK - jboss is Running


Make sure Nagios user is allowed to access the plugin (use chmod to make it readable by Nagios user)
