Ok.
We all make some failures as sysadmin sometimes, so be happy.

Congrats Arthur!

And yeah, none of us have ever made a mistake like that ;-)

	I am embarrassed.  I was not giving the correct path in the nrpe_local.cfg file, which I did not realize until looking at the output in the log file, as per Mr. Spatz's suggestion.  I must have looked at this config file 100 times without noticing.  It's even in my first email: "/usr/nagios/plugins" in the check_foo definition should be "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins".  After making this change, it works fine.
	
	I apologize for taking up so many people's time.

		Activate debug mode in nrpe.cfg an have a look on your syslog what's happening when the check is called.

				Hi all,


				I'm trying to check for the presence of a particular process on a remove machine using NRPE and check_procs with a -a or -C argument.  I have defined on the remote machine's nrpe_local.cfg:
				
				command[check_foo]=/usr/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c 1:1 -C foo
				
				Running a similar command locally on that machine works fine:
				
				$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c 1:1 -C foo
				PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'foo'
				
				But when I try to run the command from the Nagios server, I get the following result:
				
				$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host -c check_foo
				NRPE: Unable to read output
				
				Whereas other monitored services work fine:
				$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H remote.host -c check_procs
				PROCS OK: 97 processes
				



			 Just to be certain, did you restart the nrpe daemon on remote.host after modifying its nrpe.cfg file?
