Re: How does "proc" in snmpd.conf match the process

Hi,

if I check the fixproc Perl script in net-snmp-5.4.3 source tarball,
then looks like "proc" executes simply "ps -e" and CMD column of this
command is limited to 15 characters. The actual script name was not
"backup.sh", but "<vendorname>-backup.sh". So in short, "proc" matches
process by greping the output of "ps -e".
