Does your backup process write its PID to a file while it's active? Or can you script it to do so?
Then you can alert on the age of the dile.

Hi !
Unfortunatley i didn't found a solution for my problem except these threads, which are not really a soluton :-(
http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2008-February/017554.html http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2013-July/037868.html
The question is, if anybody has a idea, how i can monitor the runtime for certain processes, preferably with his pid ?
My real problem is, that my backup-system runs at beginning of the months maybe more than 2 days ... but in the normal way it's runs 2-4 hours ...
So, i want to have a yellow alert after 24 hours and a red alert after 48 hours .. is this possible ?
Thanks & Cheers
