What I use to know if a process is running is the simple body from the
cfengine_stdlib :
body process_count any_count(cl)
{
match_range => "0,0";
out_of_range_define => { "$(cl)" };
}
Which can be used in your example as :
"proc"
process_count => any_count("proc_is_running"),
comment => "Check if proc is running";
But I'm not sure it's really what you need, and I'm afraid I'm
oversimplifying your question
