Process monitoring with ps-watcher

Once you have ps-watcher installed the next step is to create a configuration file that contains the rules your want to use for monitoring or acting on what ps-watcher reports, based on the output of the ps command. Along with the supplied configuration file, you can use command-line options to fine-tune the behavior of ps-watcher and assist in debugging.
