# Are there enough (at least 4) httpd processes running?

#occurs=first

# Which processes have been running for more than 1 day?
# Note this hack to specify a pattern ostensibly different from 
# the above pattern. This is an IniConf-imposed limitation.
# Also note use of builtin-function elapsed2secs
# and builtin constant DAYS.
# The variable $etime (elapsed time) does not exist on your OS.
# For on FreeBSD it doesn't, but that has a "cputime" reports a time
# entry.

# Note: BSD/OS on the other hand give the script name rather than the
