Wrong saposcol status in ST06/OS06/OS07

Question

Hello guys,
I have saposcol running on our team server. - "status -s" returns correctly, status: running.
However, when I checked the system information via SAP GUI with ST06/OS06/OS07, I found that the saposcol's status "not running (process ID not found).".
I've also checked in the server, the saposcol.exe is running and the author is <sid>adm.
Who can tell me how I can figure this?

Hi Manu,
The problem is, saposcol runs well in the os level all the time. I have searched some notes and some of them give the same recommendation with yours, but they don't help in my case. After I restart the saposcol -l in the os level, saposcol -s returns "running", while the os collector's status remain "not running blabla" in ST06.
The OS user I used is <sid>adm, which was already added into the admin user group.
And here is some information that may help. actually I have installed two SAP systems on one server, one is ERP(sid is 'ESH'), the other is CRM(sid is 'CSH'). I checked saposcol's status both in os level and SAPGUI, the result is as follows.
###############OS level#####SAP GUI(ST06...)#
ESH System: ###running  #####   not running
CSH System: ###not running  ##   not running
In the os level, both the process saposcol.exe and the Service SAPOSCOL are performed by user 'eshadm'.
Please advice more.
