PROC question

["Williams, Doug (Consultant-RIC)" <Doug.Williams (at) rhd.com>]

Or more like a problem. :)
 
Hi,
 
I have one server that has over 1700 processes, which includes a LOT of
java processes, causing a lot of characters per line.   So the entire PS
output is not sent to the server; is truncated around 1400 lines.
 
The problem is that any PROC I define to be monitored, that happens not
to be within that 1400 lines stays in alarm condition.
 
I played with setting MAXLINE and MAXMSG_STATUS to very high numbers,
but to no success
 
I also noted that in BB man pages it, says:
 
/*
The maximum size of a message is defined by the maximum allowed length
of your shell's command line, and is typically 8-32 KB. 

If you need to send longer status messages, you can specify "@" as the
message: bb will then read the status message from its stdin. 

*/

Is there any way to get default tests such as PROC to be able to use the
"@" capability, or will I just need to create a script monitoring procs
on that server and EXHOST for default PROC test for that server?

Thanks

Doug
