[Nagiosplug-help] Problem with NRPE and check_procs with -C or -a usage

[Arthur Franke]

Like this?

ajfranke at dcmonitoring:~$ sudo su - nagios
nagios at dcmonitoring:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host -c
check_foo
NRPE: Unable to read output
nagios at dcmonitoring:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host -c
check_procs
PROCS OK: 93 processes
nagios at dcmonitoring:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host
NRPE v2.8.1

Thanks for the help.  Any ideas?

-Arthur
