ok true... but I can run it on any process with the same error:

$ /usr/pkg/libexec/nagios/check_procs -C "sendmail:"
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'sendmail:'

$ ps auxww|egrep clamd
defang   368  0.0  0.0  3256 93432 ?     IWsa  1Aug10 4:13.34 
/usr/pkg/sbin/clamd

$ /usr/pkg/libexec/nagios/check_procs -C clamd
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name 'clamd'

$ /usr/pkg/libexec/nagios/check_procs -C /usr/pkg/sbin/clamd
PROCS OK: 0 processes with command name '/usr/pkg/sbin/clamd'
