procs does send an alert as expected for all monitored

drilling down on info shows an alert when I use procs and no alert when I use

I think Tim found the issue. Click on the info page for the server and<br>
see if the alert shows up in the alerts box. If the server has no ntpd<br>
test, then no alert will appear in the alerts box.<br>

The status page shows the red "critical" icon for procs. When I drill<br>
down into procs ...snip...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Should the alert be for 'procs', not ntpd?<br>
