Description-en: monitoring a system via ps-like commands
This program runs the ps command periodically and triggers commands on matches.
The match patterns are Perl regular expressions which can refer to the process
information via variables.
.
For example it can be used to ensure that a daemon is running, or is not
running too many times. It can also be used to determine when a process has
consumed too many resources, perhaps due to a memory leak.
