Examples

Check that quake.exe is not running and NSClient++.exe is running:

 checkProcState ShowAll quake.exe=stopped NSClient++.exe=started
 quake.exe : Stopped - NSClient++.exe : Running

Check that quake.exe is not running and my.exe and NSClient++.exe is running and only show problems:

checkProcState my.exe quake.exe=stopped NSClient++.exe=started
my.exe : Stopped

checkProcState MinCritCount=50 svchost.exe=started

Check that cmd.exe with substring printloop in commandline is running:

NSClient++ /test
checkProcState match=regexp cmdLine ShowAll .*cmd.*printloop.*=started
