Didn't miss it, just haven't decided about it yet.
The simple solution is to just relax the process-name check so it
matches if the search string is found anywhere in the commandline.
That's what BB does, and it is probably what I am going to do.

I can do that - no problem - but it does bring up the issue of how to
report it. Your example is very straight-forward, but I can imagine
some setup where you use more complex regular expressions ... is it
really OK for Hobbit to present
^j[234]+.*(re|vm) (found 4, req. 2 or more)
and expect anyone to nod and say "yup, looks all-right to me" ?
Or should there be some way of providing a human-readable text so
ordinary users (read: PHB's) can make sense of it ?

It does, thanks to the PCRE library being used.
