Well, it appears that it is AIX's "ps" command that is the issue.ps auxw will 
leave a space at the end of the line. ps auxcw will not (but not suitable for 
our purposes). So, either modify cfengine to strip trailing whitespace off of 
the ps command (chomp in perl speak), or keep this in mind for AIX and always 
append "\s*$" for ps regexes. I vote for stripping trailing whitespace as it 
normalizes the language for processes.
