This can lead to a "return code 127 is out of bounds" type error if the script hits its timeout of 20 seconds. This can be amended on line 13. *) Assumptions are made that the current directory (where the script is run from, in your case "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/contrib/") is writable by the user running the script, since it tries to create some temporary files. This can be fixed by changing all occurances of "tmp_res1", "tmp_res" and "tmp_html" to include the full path to the tmp directory, i.e. "/tmp/tmp_res1". A better fix would be to use File::Temp and possibly the "tmpnam" function (for security reasons), buts that's personal preference. If that does not fix your problem, please repost your current command, service and macro definitions as the error implies that the url is not being passed to the command - around line 26 you could add the following to help catch this if(!$url) { print ("ERROR: no valid url provided\n"); exit $ERRORS{"UNKNOWN"}; } Duncs On Mon, 2007-01-08 at 19:43 +0000, Prashant N wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> well i in-corporated the change and when i try to execute in command line the output is ok but thru the nagios web console, this returns errors as [01-08-2007 12:47:02] SERVICE ALERT: <A HREF="http://kmp.mobiapps.biz">kmp.mobiapps.biz</A>;URL;UNKNOWN;HARD;15;**ePN /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/contrib/check_url.pl: "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 4) line 27,"." how to solve this ? regards shann </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> On 1/8/07, Duncan Ferguson <<A HREF="mailto:duncan.ferguson@egg.com">duncan.ferguson@egg.com</A>> wrote: </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> That should probably be command_line $USER1$/check_url.pl $ARG1$ </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> On Sat, 2007-01-06 at 12:28 +0530, Prashant N wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> hi, from the command line is used as : /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_url.pl <A HREF="https://172.16.1.78/blog">https://172.16.1.78/blog</A> and the check_url command in the commands.cfg looks like: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 'check_url' command definition define command{ command_name check_url command_line $USER1$/check_url.pl } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the services.cfg file ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- services.cfg ------------------------------------------------------------- # URL SERVICES define service{ use basic-service name url-service service_description URL notification_interval 10 notification_options c,r notification_period 24x7 check_command check_url register 0 } define service{ use url-service host_name <A HREF="http://kmp.mobiapps.biz">kmp.mobiapps.biz</A> service_description URL check_command check_url!https://172.16.1.78/blog contact_groups einsteins } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards Shann On 1/6/07, Jason Martin <<A HREF="mailto:jhmartin@toger.us">jhmartin@toger.us</A>> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE> What is the definition of check_url?
