Processes parse error

[Jim Wight]

On Linux, time featuring in a ps user-defined format, e.g. as in

        SetOptionString         "-eo user,pid,ni,time"

can lead to a parse error. Time in the TIME column is output in the
format hh:mm:ss, which is OK, but over 24 hour's worth is shown as
d-hh:mm:ss, and that causes a parse error:

cfengine:machine: Running process command /bin/ps -eo user,pid,ni,time
cfengine:machine: Parse error checking process time

I currently have users who may legitmately have long-running
CPU-intensive programs. Even if the processes are niced to the lowest
priority, they soon clock up CPU time overnight when they get
virtually all of the CPU time going.
