Process Monitoring match 4 Processes, but only one needed

Hello,

i have a problem with the Process Monitoring Module in SMC 3.5. I will monitor one process with the name pmd, but 4 processes match on these chracters. How can i tell SMC that the Process Monitoring shows only the process who exactly Match the entered value ?

Example:

Wish to mointor process pmd:

pmd

ovtopmd

etc. ..

Process count 4,

Have anyone a idea to solve this problem ?

Have you tried the extra optional user and/or argument filtering?

If all 4 of your processes run as the same user, with the same arguments (or none at all) then you could also symlink a different file name to the binary you want so it appears in your ps output as something unique. That only works if you have control over what launches that process to begin with (so you can change it to call that new name as well).

If you still can't make that process unique you could also write a small script to monitor it and dump back the interesting bits to stdout to be read by ScriptRunner (http://www.halcyoninc.com/products/ScriptRunner/index.php)

Hi, thx for your reply.

i'm not be able to access this program who starts this process.

The other three processes which don't interesting me have arguments, but this one not ;-(. All processes runs as user root.

Because of this i cant filter the process with the argument and user option, can i use an option in SMC Monitor a process without argument ?
