[Xymon] monitor runtime of processes

[Jeremy Ruffer]

What platform are you on?

On Linux you can do
ps -p<pid> -oetime
or
ps -C<backupname> -oetime

You just need an external script to report green if it's not found.  If 
it's been going over 24 hours then the format is D-HH:MM:SS so you just 
need to check for the dash then check the number of days.
