RE: Couple of Issues with 5.4.1

FYI the problem with process counts being reported incorrectly is fixed in the SVN.  I believe my problem was related to the total process count on the server going over 255 or something along those lines.

Thanks.  I will just monitor the shorter name or rename the process all together for now while I figure out the reasoning behind the limitation..  I'm still unable to figure out why it is sporadically not detecting the other processes.  Any ideas where to look on this issue?  Its only one server where I'm seeing this and I have 3 other servers running the same hardware and software (CentOS 5).
