<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Check_disk_smb - How to do c$?</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hello all, Sorry if this is a nubile question, but I’m pretty new to the Linux environment and Nagios, so I’m not sure where my problem lies, but was hoping to get some help. I’m going to put more info than necessary, but I hope it’ll be every question. I have Nagios v2.4 up and running, and it’s working like a champ! I am focusing at the moment on just one Windows 2003 Server and getting all the plugins and configurations correct. I am running Nagios on a Fedora Core 5 dist on an Intel Mac Mini (intel). I have not changed from the default bash terminal. I am trying to obtain the amount of free space on the primary hard drive of said server (in this case, as is with many vanilla Microsoft installs, it is the c$ share.) My problem is that after defining the following command set in checkcommands.cfg; Define command{ command_name check_disk_smb command_line $USER1$/check_disk_smb –H $HOSTADDRESS$ -W MCGARRYBOWEN –u gfreeman –p (censored) -s $ARG1$ } And defining the service in my hydeMin.cfg; Define service{ **Edited the boring stuff** check_command check_disk_smb!c$ } And double checking here by using; ./check_disk_smb –H 192.168.1.2 –W MCGARRYBOWEN –u gfreeman –p (censored) -s c$ I receive a Critical from nagios, so through trouble shooting procedure (using the ./check_disk_smb) I received the error “Result from smbclient not suitable.” I assume this is because the $ isn’t being pushed to the windows box... I assume that this is not being carried forward because the $ character is tripping up either Nagios, the system, or both. I’ve tried running the last command with the following “c/$”, “c\$”, “c\ $” all to no avail. So, assuming noob as I may be I’d love some help. :) Thanks in advance, John Hyde </BODY> </HTML>
