[Nagiosplug-help] Re: check_mrttraf -f argument probs

[Adam C. Acord]

Thanks for the idea, but...that didn't fix the problem.  All of the  
directories in the path are 755, so it should be ok.  Here's the  
command as it is written in the config file:

service[dev1]=Device1;0;24x7;10;5;5;admin;10;24x7;1;1;1;;check_mrtgtraf! 
/path/to/dev1/ 
192.168.1.1_261.log!10!AVG!62500000!10000000!62500000!10000000

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?
