Package: nagios-plugins-basic Version: 1.4.2-6 Severity: normal Hi,
check_procs does not work properly if used in Germany. Reason: In Germany/Europe floating numbers are written with a decimal comma instead of a decimal point. When you set LC_NUMERIC to something like de_DE, the function sscanf expects a decimal comma, not a decimal point. check_procs calls /bin/ps axwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args' and then parses the output. That's where trouble begins. The %CPU is written as 0.0, but sscanf now expects a comma. It therefore scans only "0", and leaves ".0" for the next argument, thus shifting all subsequent arguments one to the right. check_procs -C something therefore does not work anymore.
