[Nagiosplug-help] Plugin perpetually in warn state

[Chase Simms]

Kyle,

I started dumping different commands and found nagios was calling java 1.4.  I modified the symlink /usr/bin/java.  I'm not sure how the environment defaulted to that version.   When I log in as the nagios user or root they are using /usr/java/default/bin/java.

Either way, I got it working.

Thank you for the help.

Chase

try it from command line again, dump our environment variables into a file

then write a wrapper for the script that gets executed by nagios, have
the script dump the environment variables to a file as well, compare
them and see if anything jumps out at you.

what happens if you execute it as a non-privileged user?
