The client test for processes uses "grep" to identify the ones that
you are interested in. As a result, you can use regular expression
syntax in your rules to be more specific (with a few restrictions).

If, for example, the process WOE that you want to check always occurs
at the end of the line (as would be the case if it is not called with
other arguments), you could "tie" the match to the end of the line
using the dollar symbol. This needs to be preceded by a back-slash
"escape" character, to prevent the shell from trying to interpret it,
giving:

    : : WOE\$


Cheers, Phil.
