Just to update the list :-) The new version on http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/addons.asp has an extra option were it can add the list of found processes (that match) to the returned string.
Jason got a first update for it on Monday, but we "tweaked" it a little in the next days (removed a , that was too much in the output, remove empty () when the list was empty, that kind of "little" stuff :-)) Dirk Bulinckx. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 9:56 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Monitor linux server No it can only return the number of processes ,something like "45 processes running and 5 with the name pr_name". With pr_name being the name as you entered it. Adding all processes with that name seems rather "strange", ofcourse with the idea of the wildcard it might be more logic ofcourse.... Let me have a look at this....(next week....getting a bit to late now ... Almost 10pm) Dirk Bulinckx. -----Original Message----- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Passow Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 9:41 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: Re: [SA-list] Monitor linux server One more question on this topic. So since I have discovered that the wildcard works is there anyway to return the whole string that contains my substring in the %e variable.
