David,

From the comments in hobbit-clients.cfg (hobbit v4.1.1):

...

PROC processname minimumcount maximumcount color

...

To check for a process that must NOT be running: Set

minimum and

maximum to 0.

...

Your lines check for a minimum of 0 processes but specify no maximum. I suggest you try

     PROC "%some_1_proc" 0 0 red
     PROC "%some_2_proc" 0 0 red
     PROC "%some_3_proc" 0 0 red

to get a red alarm when you have more than 0 processes.

hobbit-clients.cfg:

     PROC "%some_1_proc" 0
     PROC "%some_2_proc" 0
     PROC "%some_3_proc" 0

web page:

green %some_1_proc (found 1, req. none) green %some_2_proc (found 1, req. none) green %some_3_proc (found 1, req. none)

I would have hoped that the processes would have alarmed 'red' since I was expecting 0 processes? I was trying to mimic the '!' function from BB in bb-proctab.
