>From the nagios server as nagios:
$ ./check_nrpe -H host1 -p 5666 -c check_mailq
NRPE: Unable to read output
$ ./check_nrpe -H host1 -p 5666 -c check_disk1

>From the offending host1 as nagios:
$ pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec
$ ./check_mailq -w 5 -c 10 -M sendmail
OK: mailq is empty|unsent=0;5;10;0
$ grep mailq ../etc/nrpe.cfg
command[check_mailq]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 5 -c 10 -M
sendmail
$ mailq
/var/spool/mqueue is empty
                Total requests: 0
$ ./check_mailq -V

$ ./check_disk -V
check_disk (nagios-plugins 1.4.6) 1.84
$ ./check_swap -V
check_swap (nagios-plugins 1.4.3) 1.55

Question 1: Anyone seen the 'Unable to read output' and resolved it?
Question 2: check_mailq isn't part of plugins-1.4.9 on my solaris compile,
any chance it returns?

thanks in advance,
-Marc
