[Nagiosplug-help] check_nrpe

[David Shapiro]

Hello,

I made a script that uses expect.pm/perl  to sqlplus login to sids and
return errors if logins fail for some reason.  I used the exit codes from
config.sh.  Anyway, the script works from the command line fine:

# /usr/local/bin/bti/chkoracle.pl --login system/test --oracle 816

SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production on Tue Jul 9 08:52:45 2002

(c) Copyright 1999 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available


Enter user-name: SQLPLUS: Oracle 816 unavailable. Check if Oracle down,
Invalid SID used, or oraenv settings not correctly set.

But using check_nrpe:
# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe 10.1.1.1 -to 60 -c
'check_db_sqlplus_816'
CHECK_NRPE: Receive underflow.  Only 12 bytes received (1040 expected).

What is happening here? What is this underflow error?  What is going on?
