Look for an error like permission denied opening a file or a file not found. I know the output is awfully long (especially with Perl checks) but you'll likely find exactly where it's failing.

Smith Sent: Thu 23-Nov-06 0:35 To: nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagiosplug-devel] plugin works locally but not remotely I have two servers, one redhat, one rpath os, both running nrpe. These are postfix mail spoolers. The check_nrpe command from the nagios servers works fine on the redhat server but dies on the rpath server (only for the check_mailq command). When I run the check_mailq command on the local rpath box it runs without any problem. I can't tell why it's dying remotely BUT when I wrap the check_mailq command with a shell it works fine remotely. So I renamed check_mailq to check_mailq.pl and create check_mailq (shell script) which does this: #!/bin/sh # Nasty fix for some off the wall reason cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq.pl $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 I'm not sure why I have to write a wrapper. Anyone seem anything like this on different distros? I had to put the cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins in there or it would die on the call to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq.pl $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6. Any help would be appreciated. Gary Wayne Smith </BODY> </HTML>
