[Nagiosplug-help] event handler not running

[Stewart St. Dennis]

When passing parameters via nrpe, you need to remember that the default config is to limit parameters passing (best security protection).  Often, a compromise can be made by hardwiring the parameters into the target machine's nrpe definition of the command.

Glad you've made it farther!  :)

As for arguments, make sure that the remote client will accept
them, and make sure you're sending them via '-a' from the Nagios
server.  If you can't figure it out, send another email with the
command definition from the Nagios server that's being executed,
as well as the command definition on the NRPE side.
