** Description changed:

  It looks like the nagios-plugins package is configured with
  
-   --with-ps-command="/bin/ps axwwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu etime
+   --with-ps-command="/bin/ps axwwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu etime
  comm args'"
  
  Unfortunately using "comm" returns truncated command names (via
  /proc/[pid]/status) which makes it difficult or impossible to use
  check_procs -C. For example, "check_procs -C apache2" fails while
- "check_procs -C apach" works. It looks like the package should be
- configured with "cmd" or "command" (which use /proc/[pid]/cmdline)
- instead, e.g.
- 
-   --with-ps-command="/bin/ps axwwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu etime
- command args'"
+ "check_procs -C apach" works.
